He stepped down trying not to look long at her, as though she were the sun, yet he saw her as one sees the sun, without looking.
Most people would rather get than give affection
Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things to get himself envied
All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind that only pleases the sight but does not captivate the affections.
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui, vanish, - all duties even
We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.

This was the era of risk and of adventure; of family feuds; of forced affection, of love unrequited; of wars which took lives, by the necks of both the soul and the body, and wrought the poor thing asunder until it was forced to let go or die trying. This was, and always will be, the era belonging to the legendary Royals who fought for love, for truth, and for vengeance.

A concrete love is a mass of emotion formed into a compound mixture of affection, care, desire and expectation.
This the curse of service: Preferment goes by letter and affection, and not by old gradation, where each second stood heir to the first.
I had the most beautiful dream, and then I fell asleep in your arms and my dream turned lovelier still.
Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly.
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog
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.
