A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

I was one of those fortunate individuals who grew up in a large, passionate, demonstrative Italian family where we were taught to love as naturally as we breathed and ate giant bowls of pasta!

If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work.

In love, each man is his own personal challenge.

"To be is to do," says the existentialist. "One only becomes real (human) at the point of action."

A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.

The most important thing in the world is that you make yourself a loving person, because this is what you will be giving away.
