Set Them Free Quotes

If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.
- Paulo Coelho

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

When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jaws. When that failed, I captured jars and jars of lightening bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun. She'd laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage. (Cassandra)
- Sherrilyn Kenyon

Stories are like genies...They can carry us into and though our sorrows. Sometimes they burn, sometimes they dance, sometimes they weep, sometimes they sing. Like genies, everyone has one. Like genies, sometimes we forget that we do.
Our stories can set us free...When we set them free.
- Francesca Lia Block

If you've ever wondered where the good songs go
After they've had their day,
You'll be glad to meet a man I know,
Wrinkled old and gray.
He collects the tunes that time has thrown aside
Puts them under lock and key;
For a penny he is glad to set them free.
- Ira Gershwin

Mother's particular devils had remained mysterious to me for decades. So had her past. Few born liars ever intentionally embark in truth's direction, even those who believe that such a journey might axiomatically set them free.
- Mary Karr

For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.
- Amin Maalouf

Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.
- John Piper

His lips were soft, warm and felt overwhelmingly right against mine. I fell into it, oblivious to anything other than the safety in his touch. One by one, the senses flowed from me as he pulled them away and set them free. It must have hurt him. The senses hurt the hell out of me.
- Jessica Shirvington

They say when you really love someone, you should be willing to set them free. So that is what I am doing. I will step back and you will move on. I will let you go.... Your happiness means everything to me. I will listen for your voice in the distance. I will look at the moon. I will keep you in my pocket. I will carry your smile with me everywhere, like a warm and comforting glow.
