More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.

Leo Buscaglia
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.
