Please enjoy these Quotes about Possessive and Friendship from my collection of Friendship quotes.
My vision of a real humanity is of pure individuals
relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.

They will be sharing with each other
all their joys and all their blessings,
but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.
