“only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not give by the other.”
― Osho, Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

“So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.”
― Osho, Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

“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.”
― Osho, Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

“nobody loves anything more than freedom. Even love is secondary to freedom; freedom is the highest value. Love can be sacrificed for freedom, but freedom cannot be sacrificed for love.”
