"What we need to know about loving..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, to weep is to risk appearing too sentimental, to reach out for another is to risk involvement, and to expose feelings is to risk exposing one's true self.”

“The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all”

“If he desired to know about automobiles, he would, without question, study diligently about automobiles. If his wife desired to be a gourmet cook, she'd certainly study the art of cooking, perhaps even attending a cooking class. Yet, it never seems as obvious to him that if he wants to live in love, he must spend at least as much time as the auto mechanic or the gourmet in studying love.”

“Love is co-operation rather than competition.”

“If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

“They met so near with their lips that their breaths embraced together.”

“For many years, at great cost, I traveled through many countries, saw the high mountains, the oceans. The only things I did not see were the sparkling dewdrops in the grass just outside my door.”

“The first and most important thing of all, at least for writers today, is to strip language clean, to lay it bare down to the bone.”

“Who wants a stylus. You have to get em and put em away, and you lose em. Yuck. Nobody wants a stylus.”
