Free Love Quotes - Is Love Truly Free?

Our collection of free love quotes asks the question—is there such a thing as free love? Those of us who remember the Free Love Movement of the Sixties know that rather creating a generation of tolerant, compassionate beings who were focused making a contribution to humanity, it allowed many to shirk their responsibility to love.

Love is not free, nor should it be. With love comes responsibility. In romantic love as in all other forms of love, we are free to choose, but we are not free from our choices.

Free Love Quotes

lasting ties; it needs freedom only to effect its choice,
not for its accomplishment.

without asking anything in return.

~ J Krishnamurti

free love in the Sixties is responsible for AIDS." And we

fell from the heaven—absurd. We must face what we did.

~ Camille Paglia
