Leo Buscaglia

“It would have been all too easy for Frank Lloyd Wright to have settled into a mediocre career as an architect. But he didn’t.

“It would have been all too easy for Frank Lloyd Wright to have settled into a mediocre career as an architect. But he didn’t. Mark Twain could have remained an obscure journalist, Leonard Bernstein could have settled into music teaching at some college. But they didn’t. And imagine how much less our world would be without their contributions”

Known as ‘Dr. Love’ (1924–1998), Buscaglia was a renowned author, teacher, and motivational speaker. TLS signed “Leo,” two pages, 5.5 x 8.5, personal letterhead, July 26, 1994. Buscaglia responds to an admirer, in part: “Hard work, creativity and education alone will not guarantee anyone’s becoming a successful writer or a successful anything. One must also believe in oneself and keep on eye focused on the stars. It would have been all too easy for Frank Lloyd Wright to have settled into a mediocre career as an architect. But he didn’t. Mark Twain could have remained an obscure journalist, Leonard Bernstein could have settled into music teaching at some college. But they didn’t. And imagine how much less our world would be without their contributions…As for me, I believe the greatest building has yet to be built, the best novel has yet to be written and the finest musical has yet to be scored.” In fine condition, with a vertical crease to both pages. Phenomenal content from the man who made a monumental living out of exploring and promoting the notion of love. RRAuction COA.
