Leo Buscaglia quotes about
real love-is attachment
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.
life children pain
Why do we protect children from life? It's no wonder that we become afraid to live. We're not told what life really is. We're not told that life is joy and wonder and magic and even rapture, if you can get involved enough. We're not told that life is also pain, misery, despair, unhappiness, and tears. I don't know about you, but I don't want to miss any of it. I want to embrace life, and I want to find out what it's all about. I wouldn't want to go through life without knowing what it is to cry.
matter emptiness empty
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
courage classroom immersion

life change missing
Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.
love-you love-is people
Love is not a thing, it is not lost when given. You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally.
letting-go hands mind

acceptance love-is challenges
To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor.
fashion loneliness love-life
Each man lives love in his limited fashion and does not seem to relate the resultant confusion and loneliness to his lack of knowledge about love.
matter ability-to-love ability
One must never be satisfied with his ability to love. No matter where he is, it is always just a beginning.
flower talking looks
Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!
love giving joy
The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love."
inspirational
It is the foregiver who is freed in foregiving.
loneliness lying men
Man has no choice but to love. For when he does not, he finds his alternatives lie in loneliness, destruction and despair.
