Summary

This quote suggests that true love is characterized by freedom and the absence of possessiveness. It encourages individuals to release their loved ones, allowing them the space to make their own choices. If someone chooses to come back after being given the freedom to leave, it implies that their love is genuine and enduring. On the other hand, if they choose not to return, it suggests that their love was never sincere or meant to last. It highlights the importance of accepting the choices of others and understanding that love cannot be forced or controlled.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.
