50 phrases of Leo Buscaglia about love and happiness

Leo Buscaglia (1924 - 1998), also known as DR. Love, was an American author, motivational speaker and professor in the Department of Special Education of the University of Southern California.

Buscaglia was teaching at the University at the end of the 1960s when one of his students committed suicide. This fact had a great impact on him, which led him to form a class without credit entitled "Love". The class gave rise to conferences and then a manuscript based on what was shared in those weekly classes. The book found an editor, and the author was surprised to learn that the simple LOVE title had never been claimed previously, allowing him to say "I have the copyright of Love!"

May your quotes inspire you to love and that you can live your dreams.
