About this Quote

This quote by Leo Buscaglia talks to the real nature of love. Love is not something that is given in exchange for something else, however rather it is provided easily and without expectation. We do not love to be enjoyed, however rather we love to love. This speaks to the concept that love is something that is provided with no expectation of something in return. It is a selfless act that is done out of pure love and kindness. Love is something that is offered with no thought of what we will get in return. It is a gift that is provided easily and willingly, and it is something that ought to be treasured and appreciated. Love is something that must be provided with no expectation of something in return, and it is something that ought to be offered easily and voluntarily.
