Fred Rogers Is Quotations

Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

We need to help people to discover the true meaning of love. Love is generally confused with dependence. Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in proportion to our capacity for independence.

Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.

Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.

It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.

More and more I've come to understand that listening is one of the most important things we can do for one another. Whether the other be an adult or a child, our engagement in listening to who that person is can often be our greatest gift. Whether that person is speaking or playing or dancing, building or singing or painting, if we care, we can listen.

Love isn't a perfect state of caring...

Love begins with listening.
