The man who wrote the book called “LOVE” was Dr. Leo Buscaglia. It is not a new book, but rather one whose words endure.
He told others: “It’s not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.” Leo Buscaglia Foundation
Here are 9 quotes from Leo Buscaglia and at the end is a blog post that I wrote in 2008 and a very humorous video about waiting for the right person to come along to love and says:
There is no right person. We become the right person!
Here are some of his most memorable sayings on love.
1. Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
2. Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie’s man’s only promise.
3. Love is always bestowed as a gift – freely, willingly and without expectation. We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.
4. Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
5. What love we’ve given, we’ll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
