"I have too much respect for people to try to control them. But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another. We're afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, 'What a jerk!' It takes courage in our culture to be a lover."

they see you not the way you see yourself or the way others     

see you. A true friend sees you for who you are and who you    

can become.”

Durante was known for piano talent, singing, comedy, and a very large nose.
