Affection is the most important thing. And the quality of affection - with your friends, your lovers, your family. But particularly for your own generation.
Allen Ginsberg
Image
Affection can no more spoil a child than the sun could be put out by a bucket of gasoline.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
Image
Affection reproaches, but does not denounce.
Mason Cooley
Image
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward, But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
William Shakespeare
Image
Affection is an overpowering craving to be compellingly sought.
Robert Frost
Image
Affection cannot be created it can only be liberated.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Affection may be abiding and love may be abiding, but the state of being in love is transitory.
Jo Coudert
Image
Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
Dalai Lama
Image
Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Affection exaggerates its own offenses.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Image
Affection is created by habit, community of interests, convenience and the desire of companionship. It is a comfort rather than an exhilaration.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
Affection between adults - if they are really adult in mind and not merely grown up children - and creatures so relatively selfish and cruel as children necessarily are without knowing it or meaning it, cannot be called natural.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
Image
Affection is like bread, unnoticed till we starve, and then we dream of it, and sing of it, and paint it, when every urchin in the street has more than he can eat.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Affection makes your spirit slither out from its concealing spot.
Zora Neale Hurston
Image
Affection is a coal that must be cooled else, suffered, it will set the heart on fire.
William Shakespeare
Image
Affection, mistress of passion, sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Affections injured by tyranny, or rigor of compulsion, like tempest-threatened trees, unfirmly rooted, never spring to timely growth
John Ford
Image
Affection is like the noonday sun it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.
Isabel Allende
Image
Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed to produce it in public is like getting your household furniture out for a move. It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Affection makes fools. Always, without exception, love digs a channel that's sooner or later flooded by the briny water of despair.
Sonya Hartnett
Image
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
Image
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.
