It's only when you become love - in other words, when you have dropped your illusions and attachments - that you will "know." As you identify less and less with the "me," you will be more at ease with everybody and with everything.

Love springs from awareness.

Anthony De Mello Writer

Look for competence not claims.

Anthony De Mello Writer

All conflict comes from attachment.

Anthony De Mello Writer

So love the thought of death, love it.

Anthony De Mello Writer

Another related source of demonization is the homosexual relationship itself. [...] That attachment and communion are indeed inspired, but their source is demonic.

Andrew Comiskey

Attachment constrains our vision so that we are not able to see things from a wider perspective.

At the most basic level, therefore, secure attachments in both childhood and adulthood are established by two individual's sharing a nonverbal focus on the energy flow (emotional states) and a verbal focus on the information-processing aspects (representational processes of memory and narrative) of mental life. The matter of the mind matters for secure attachments.

Daniel J. Siegel Author

Are we not all of us fanatics? I say only what you of the U.S.A. pretend you do not know. Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care. What you wish to sing of as tragic love is an attachment not carefully chosen. Die for one person? This is a craziness. Persons change, leave, die, become ill. They leave, lie, go mad, have sickness, betray you, die. Your nation outlives you. A cause outlives you.

David Foster Wallace Novelist

Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles, I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition, perhaps, there is more flexibility, more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood.

Dee Dee Myers Former White House Press Secretary

I guess one of the things that is an advantage of the world in which we live is that I can at least I can have multiple homes. I can have that attachment to Montana and to Cambridge and to India.

Diana L. Eck Scholar
