Eric Braeden's Quotes

  • Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.
  • I have a feeling that being in love sometimes means the projection of your desires onto another person. The important thing is that you like the other person, respect the other person and want to raise children with the other person.
  • If both parents must work, I think it is more important that the mother has proximity to the child to therefore establish a childcare situation at the big corporations not once a day, but many times a day.
  • A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.
  • Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.
