I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
David Duchovny
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Kahlil Gibran
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Bible
A mixture of admiration and pity is one of the surest recipes for affection.
Andre Maurois
Affection is a coal that must be cooled; Else, suffered, it will set the heart on fire.
William Shakespeare
The affection of young ladies is of as rapid growth as Jack's beanstalk, and reaches up to the sky in a night.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Tokens of affection ease the wariness of time.
Wes Fessler
In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.
Jane Austen
A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.
Albert Einstein
Comradeship is obvious and universal and open; but it is only one kind of affection; it has characteristics that would destroy any other kind. Anyone who has known true comradeship in a club or in a regiment, knows that it is impersonal.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
I wish to say that we all look forward with great pleasure to four years of wonderful, inspiring speeches full of wit, poetry, music, love and affection. More goddamn nonsense.
David Brinkley
Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety. It shows itself in acts rather than in words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations. Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come. She did not rebuke Jo with saintly speeches, only loved her better for her passionate affection, and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself. She could not say, "I'm glad to go," for life was very sweet for her. She could only sob out, "I try to be willing," while she held fast to Jo, as the first bitter wave of this great sorrow broke over them together.
Alcott, Louisa May
My fond affection thou hast seen, Then judge of my regret To think more happy thou hadst been If we had never met.
Thomas Haynes Bayly
