The only person I can find credited for that is Eden Ahbez who is the songwriter who penned 'Nature Boy' in 1948. Incidently he believed the lyric needed correcting "To be loved in return, is too much of a deal, and that has nothing to do with love."

Are you sure about the quotation? I don't recognise it. The closest I can get is: \n"God may forgive you but I won't\nYes, Jesus loves you but I don't"\n\nThat's from the song "God may forgive you but I won't", as far as I know originally sung by Rosie Flores.

perhaps its another example of a connection.  \n\nsome people are shallow, when their lover loses their beauty they in proportion lose the romance and seek others for that beauty once again.   Lowly shallow people they are.

It's probably from Aesop's Fables. That's where most quotes like that come from.

I can't remember where the quote is from, but I agree with it entirely.  It means "no holds barred", in a way, and I find it true in love and war.  It's sad to say that's true in love, but, experience tells me it is true, and our culture supports it entirely.  Our international bodies try to make it untrue in war, such as in the Geneva Convention, but, war is hell everything's "fair" in hell, so . . ..  God Bless you.

That is kind of a tricky little quote. Sometimes placing it in context can help. This is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Self Reliance," which discourages basing one's opinions and actions on common opinion in favor of self-trust (see the full essay at http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm). \nI think the point of this quote is that it's very desireable to have one's own original thoughts and opinions, and to live by them.  It's easier to live by one's own convictions and not be persuaded by others when in isolation (that's the "independence of solitude"). However, not so special to isolate oneself from others in order to attain this ideal. Because it's difficult to live by one's own thoughts and opinions while being a part of society, it's something only a "finished man" can truly do. Also, in the essay, Emerson refers to being childlike - unselfish, non-judgmental, open-minded, uncynical, unhesitant - as something to admire. So I think that's where the seemingly misplaced "perfect sweetness" comes in. When a man can remain pure of heart while living in the harsh world and also keeping and living by his own ideals. \nWhat do you think?

"If you love someone you will set them free or let them go."Yes, I believe there is a wisdom in that saying.If you truly loved someone, you will let them find their own paths.If they truly loved you, then they will return to you.

I'm guessing the answer you're looking for is love, but I don't think that would be correct.
