Quote

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.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia

Image
When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
You can't imagine the joy I feel when I hear that something I've said or done or written has helped others to regain their sense of dignity, to motivate them to develop their unique potential, to encourage them to reach out to others in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia
Image
That's love. That's all it means. It means sharing joy with people.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is trusting, accepting, and believing, without guarantee. Love is patient and waits, but it's an active waiting, not a passive one. For it is continually offering itself in a mutual revealing, a mutual sharing. Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't over analyze your relationships.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A life lived in love will never be dull.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.

Image
People are not here to meet your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
