Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

And if you have loved a man or a woman, you will want to give the other person as much freedom as possible. If love cannot give freedom, then it is not love.

ولتكون حرًّا لا بدَّ لك من أن تحب. من دون محبة لا توجد حرية؛ من دون المحبة، تكون الحرية مجرد فكرة لا قيمة لها بتاتًا.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

You know you love someone when you cannot put into words how they make you feel.

"And the thing about love," Wally said to Angel, "is that you can’t force anyone. It’s natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you have to let everything happen to them. You can’t interfere with people you love any more than you’re supposed interfere with people you don’t even know. And that’s hard,” he added, “because you often feel like interfering - you want to be the one who makes the plans.

“It’s hard to want to protect someone else, and not be able to,” Angel pointed out.

“You can’t protect people, kiddo,” Wally said. “All you can do is love them."

It's natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you can't interfere with people you love anymore than you're supposed to interfere with people you don't even know.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

If you love somebody, set them free. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were

You cannot force someone to accept an expression of love. You can only offer it. If it is not accepted, you must respect the other person's decision.

You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up up them.

Love someone because their soul inspires you, not because you’re interested in the relief from loneliness and companionship they can provide. Anybody can do that. Not just anybody can show you to yourself.

If you love a person,
you accept the total person.
With all the defects.
Because those defects are a part of the person.

Never try to change a person you love,
because the very effort to change says that you love half,
and the other half of the person is not accepted .

When you love,
you simply love.

Those who wants to be loved, must want the freedom of the other, because love emerges from it, if I subject it, it becomes an object, and from an object I can not receive love.
