Most people
would rather give than get affection.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek Philosopher
The two
qualities which chiefly inspire regard and affection [Are]
that a thing is your own and that it is your only one.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek Philosopher
In nine cases
out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she
feels.
-- Jane Austen
1775-1817, British Novelist
It's not till
sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can
really love. And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond
of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be
disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look
back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready
to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love,
and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of
two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one
must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I
would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.
-- Enid Bagnold
1889-1981, British Novelist,
Playwright

Set your

Yes, I do
touch. I believe that everyone needs that…

I love to hold
people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are
shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it
before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.
-- Princess of Wales Diana
1961-1997, Wife of Charles,
Prince of Wales
The moment we
indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is
no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish,
all duties even.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
