Love Quotes from Leo Buscaglia

The warmhearted Living, Loving and Learning is one of my favorite all time books. It's author Leo Buscaglia, a hearty Italian, was a professor at the University of Southern California and often taught about love. Here are some of his quotations just in time for Valentine's Day.



We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.

Man has no choice but to love. For when he does not, he finds his alternatives lie in loneliness, destruction, and despair.

Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears. Love lives in the moment; it's neither lost in yesteryear nor does it crave for tomorrow.

When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited, and we are all gifted. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
