Leo F. Buscaglia
“to love is to risk, not being loved in return. to hope is to risk pain. to try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.”
Leo Buscaglia, Living, Loving & Learning

Leo F. Buscaglia
“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”
Leo Buscaglia

Virginia Woolf
“Happiness is in the quiet, ordinary things. A table, a chair, a book with a paper-knife stuck between the pages. And the petal falling from the rose, and the light flickering as we sit silent.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Sasha Sagan
“Every single one of us appears seemingly from nowhere and then, eventually, returns to nowhere. We are conceived, we grow, and we die, but what happens beyond that is a great, haunting mystery. We grapple with it by marking how and when things change here on Earth, both cyclically and permanently.”
Sasha Sagan, For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World

Sasha Sagan
“My parents taught me that the provable, tangible, verifiable things were sacred, that sometimes the most astonishing ideas are clearly profound, but when they get labeled as "facts", we lose sight of their beauty. It doesn't have to be this way. Science is the source of so much insight worthy of ecstatic celebration.”
Sasha Sagan, For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
