“There is no power on earth that can loosen a man's grip on his own throat”
“sometimes you can love people too tight, got to loosen the grip!”
“Now that I knew fear, I also knew it was not permanent. As powerful as it was, its grip on me would loosen. It would pass.”
“Everything passes, nothing remains. Understand this, loosen your grip and fine serenity...”
“I look down at our linked fingers as I loosen my grasp, but he regains his grip on me. “No, don’t let go of me,” he says.”
“Some cannot loosen their own chains and can nonetheless redeem their friends.”
