To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others.

Leo Buscaglia

He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.

To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
Leo Buscaglia

In a crazy world, it's only your insanity that will keep you sane
Leo Buscaglia
