“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none.”

“The more attention you give to your loved ones, the less affection you recieve from them.”

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.

“Time, which grays hair and wrinkles faces, also withers violent affections, and much more quickly.”

When we are loving, we openly and honestly express care, affection, responsibility, respect, commitment, and trust.

Love is an optical illusion that makes you believe the object of your affection is the most beautiful person in the world.

Our thoughts and our mind-sets greatly affect our perception of what life is really about

No emotion was supposed to cross the great divide of class. Affection could erase all hierarchy; in this was the danger, and the delight.

Any time a beloved character is killed off, it affects the audience in a very powerful way, especially in a series.

Manipulating the media is akin to poisoning a nation’s water supply – it affects all of our lives in unimaginable ways.
