Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

There is nothing I can't live without. I learned this attitude when I was a child.

I don't feel the need to be seen, to be glorified in any way.

I used to desire many, many things, but now I have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.

Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.

Not to borrow the strength of another, nor to rely on one's own strength; to cut off past and future thoughts, and not to live within the everyday mind... then the Great Way is right before your eyes.

I don't need money, or, better, it's not money that I need; it's not even power; I need only what is obtained by power and simply cannot be obtained without power: the solitary and calm awareness of strength! That is the fullest definition of freedom, which the world so struggles over!

True affluence is to not need anything.

I feel alone, free, and detached from everything in the world, and I'm happy.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

Only when he has ceased to need things can a man truly be his own master and so really exist.

The best way to win is to not need to.

He who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without.

To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.

You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence.

A pencil and rubber are of more use to thought than a battalion of assistants. To happiness the same applies as to truth: one does not have it, but is in it.

I've never been a popular person, but it doesn't matter. I have everything in my life that I want. I'm not a walking publicity stunt. I'm not an anarchist, or bitter. I'm not trying to be subversive. I just try to remain unguarded, unprotected by fear, and agents and publicists, and I feel comfortable that way.

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.

You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.

I think there is a very powerful wish that we all have of being self-contained and having sort of opted out or choosing to remove ourselves from society and to have no ties and no obligations, and even no possessions. To be free in a particular way.

It's true that I'm always happy to walk away.

Someone who goes with a half a loaf of bread to a small place that fits like a nest around him, someone who wants no more, who is not himself longed for by anyone else. He is a letter to everyone. You open it. It says, Live.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Take someone who doesn't keep score, who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he's free.

Needing nothing really is the ultimate goal. And to have nothing to do with things.
