Leo Buscaglia Relations Quotations

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.

Don't over analyze your relationships.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel" something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.

We are not evil, inadequate or incompetent when our relationships fail.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart
