“Console yourself by remembering that the world doesn't deserve your affection”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.”
Richard Bach
“When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people's affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.”
Dalai Lama
“He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.”
Kahlil Gibran
“You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.”
Charlotte Bronte
“The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.”
Lee Iacocca
