Nonattachment Quotes

When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment. (Swami Vivekananda)
Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living. View quote
Eckhart Tolle
We might more accurately think of nonattachment as nondependency. Much of our inner turbulence reflects the fear of loss: our dependence on people, circumstances, and things not really under our control. On some level we know that death, indifference, rejection, repossession, or high tide may leave us bereft in the morning. Still, we clutch desperately at things we cannot finally hold. Nonattachment is the most realistic of attitudes. It is freedom from wishful thinking, from always wanting things to be otherwise. View quote
Marilyn Ferguson

George Orwell
[D]etachment means letting go and nonattachment means simply letting be. (95) View quote
