Text Quotes
I’ve had many more thousands of books in my possession than my shelves at home would indicate. At one time, I tried to keep them all, but that quest soon became impossible; I now only keep the ones I’m sure I’m going to reread, the ones I’m definitely going to read before I die, and the ones I can’t bear to part with because of an aesthetic or emotional attachment (Attachment Quotes)
I had thought joy to be rather synonymous with happiness, but it seems now to be far less vulnerable than happiness. Joy seems to be a part of an unconditional wish to live, not holding back because life may not meet our preferences and expectations. Joy seems to be a function of the willingness to accept the whole, and to show up to meet with whatever is there. It has a kind of invincibility that attachment to any particular outcome would deny us (Attachment Quotes)
Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment (Attachment Quotes)
Shapeshifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are.

You can slip in and out of different shells, even different animal forms or deity forms (Attachment Quotes)
Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything, you are attached to nothing (Attachment Quotes)

Lose everything, even the attachment to holiness, so that you aim only at one thing: to love (Attachment Quotes)
Prayer is not a way to get what we want to happen, like the remote control that comes with the television set. I think that prayer may be less about asking for the things we are attached to than it is about relinquishing our attachments in some way. It can take us beyond fear, which is an attachment, and beyond hope, which is another form of attachment. It can help us remember the nature of the world and the nature of life, not on an intellectual level but in a deep and experiential way. When we pray, we don’t change the world, we change ourselves. We change our consciousness (Attachment Quotes)
Against barbarity, poetry can resist only by confirming its attachment to human fragility like a blade of grass growing on a wall while armies march by (Attachment Quotes)
Fall in love with a dog, and in many ways you enter a new orbit, a universe that features not just new colors but new rituals, new rules, a new way of experiencing attachment (Attachment Quotes)
I don’t really get nervous for auditions, because I just see them as mini acting classes. There’s no need to have an attachment to the outcome because it’s out of your hands after that (Attachment Quotes)
At the end of the day, it’s about the reader’s attachment to and belief in the magical elements that make or break magical realism (Attachment Quotes)
I’ve spoken with friends who are rabbis and priests and we’ve agreed that most people have an emotional attachment to their faith, a desire to fulfill their spiritual longings, but they are not experts in understanding the history of their religion (Attachment Quotes)
Melting our attachment to self is the most powerful medication for bringing mental and emotional imbalances in check (Attachment Quotes)
Overcoming attachment does not mean becoming cold and indifferent. On the contrary, it means learning to have relaxed control over our mind through understanding the real causes of happiness and fulfillment, and this enables us to enjoy life more and suffer less (Attachment Quotes)
When the only bond between close friends is attachment, then even a minor issue may cause one’s projections to change. As soon as our projections change, the attachment disappears, because that attachment was based solely on projection and expectation. It is possible to have compassion without attachment, and similarly, to have anger without hatred (Attachment Quotes)
No one can liberate you, for no one has bound you; you hold on to the nettle of worldly pleasures and you weep for pain. The kite is pursued by the crows so long as it carries the fish in its beak, it twists and turns in the sky trying to last and it drops the fish. That moment it is free. So give up the attachment to the senses; then grief and worry can harass you no more (Attachment Quotes)
Most people suffer in love because of attachment. Attachment means we’re interested in a net return on our investment (Attachment Quotes)
As your love grows, you will find that your attachment to this world will begin to fall away (Attachment Quotes)
The body will blossom and fade, but you will remain after this body of yours has gone away. This knowledge allows you to love the body without attachment. Thus, the body becomes absolutely pure (Attachment Quotes)
As you learn to accept that the body is transitory, as you watch it with love, but without attachment, the body will develop purity (Attachment Quotes)

Love at a distance may be poignant; it is also idealized. Contact, more than separation, is the test of attachment (Attachment Quotes)
