A wife says to her husband (or vice versa), 'Do you love me' 'Of course,' he replies. 'I've been married to you for twenty years, haven't I' How satisfied would we be if we presented someone with a vintage wine and, asking his opinion of it, he replied, 'I'm drinking it, aren't I' Love still needs expression between those who share it.
More Quotes from Leo F. Buscaglia:
There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters Over that I have complete control.Leo F. Buscaglia
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.
