A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.
-Logan P. Smith
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
-Leigh Hunt
I never met a man I didn't like.
-Will Rogers
A woman's life is a history of the affections.
-Washington Irving
The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
-Jean Baptiste Lacordaire
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennuis, vanish,-all duties even.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Whoever named it 'necking' was a poor judge of anatomy!
