“Surrender. That's an interesting term. We tend to see all forms of surrender as negative--war, sports, highway on-ramps. You'd never hear us describing a relationship as a type of surrender. But maybe we should. Is it wrong to cede the solo to the duet. Surrender doesn't mean you lose, only that you no longer wish to fight.”
“We do not make mistakes. Surrender at once! Resistance is fertile!""Don't you mean futile?""...That's what I said! Surrender or die!”
“You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.”
“To think you cannot fight fate is only an act of surrender.”
“Love is giving up control. It’s surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.”
“Surrender your expectations. Surrender your doubts. Surrender your fears. Surrender your strengths. Surrender your anger. Surrender your control.”
