  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 63.Today, we have a quote from Richard Bach. He was the author of Jonathon Livingston

  • Seagull and this is a quote I've heard before. I've actually I remember many years ago

  • I actually seen it on a T-shirt. " If you love someone set them free, if they come

  • back they're yours. If they don't they never were." Okay let's look at the note

  • here. This quote basically means that you cannot force someone to love you or you

  • should not try to hold on to them in a suffocating way. Suffocating almost like

  • they can't breathe. If you let someone go and they return perhaps it was destiny or

  • perhaps the person who left learned to appreciate your good qualities with

  • your absence and discovered that they truly loved you.

  • So yeah so if you love someone set them free if they come back then they're

  • yours. If they don't return perhaps the love or bond was not strong enough to

  • begin with or perhaps it was just not your destiny to be together. All right and you may

  • remember who's a while ago now is but 20 years ago or maybe even a little longer

  • Sting made that song too. I think he kind of stole this this quote or at least

  • part of it in his song. You know if you love someone, you know set them free.

  • Free , free set them. free. Kind of like that. So he actually took part of it

  • too. Anyway I think it's a good quote. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you got it.

  • Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
