this quote is something i've been thinking about, i think it's one of the truest expressions of love, however hard it may be. =/
Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh, writer (1906-2001)

That makes no sense. Why would you want the person to be free from you, if you are the person the person has chosen to love?

Add something about a nickle plated 9 and Jakes on the block and that could be a Nas verse. Although I am sure it was from a much deeper source than that :)

You're in the right arena, Lee--it's a lyric from "A.D.A.M." from the 1992 LP "Xodus" by the Islam hiphop outfit, the X-Clan, one of my fave hiphoppists, tho alas they only released 2 albums, and their last was in '92.

I would think the original quote means that, if the person you love is not free (or happy) by being with you, then it is your obligation to release them from the relationship so they can be liberated. So your act would be the ultimate selfless act of love--but you probably all knew that and are just funning.

Yep I was messing about but I do actually prefer the one about killing the person as suggested by Mickey :)

every love is not "possessive" love...
if you love a person, you'd want him/her to be happy... maybe if you love him/her really, you would sacrifice yourself in someway if that would make him/her happier...
and you wouldn't want to possess your beloved, but to make him/her happy, and free (which doesn't mean you'd not hope him/her to love you!)...

hehee
POGO.......you're TOO FUNNY girly!!!
*wishes you all ze best with your lil jar*
the quote is interesting for me because sometimes i think that due to circumstances beyond my control that the person i love may be better off without all the hassels of being WITH me, and while i love him to distraction, i want him to know that above all else i want him to be happy, even if it is without me.
*writes with a tear in her eye*
da HAT stays till AFTER da new YEAR!!!
wooo hooo party time ......EXCELLENT!!
