The chemistry of mind – Shams Tabrizi
‘The chemistry of mind is different from the chemistry of love. The mind is careful, suspicious, he advances little by little. He advices “Be careful, protect yourself” Whereas love says “Let yourself, go!” The mind is strong, never fells down, while love hurts itself, fells into ruins. But isn’t it in ruins that we mostly find the treasures? A broken heart hides so many treasures.’

A union of independence – Wayne Dyer
“A relationship based on love…is one in which each partner allows the other to be what he chooses, with no expectations and no demands. It is a simple association of two people who love each other so much that each would never expect the other to be something that he wouldn’t choose for himself. It is a union of independence, rather than dependence.”
– Wayne Dyer
