About This Quote

The saying "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it wasn't meant to be" is a reference to the Celtic legend of Cailleach Baile, a goddess associated with winter and death. In this legend, a woman desired a black horse so much she was willing to take a lifetime of cold and hunger for it. The story goes that she finally ends up with the horse but that the horse she received from her lover was not the one she loved.
