Leo Buscaglia
Image
As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
