Quotes About Affection

Unasked, Unsought, Love gives itself but is not bought
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
When thou are not pleased, beloved, Then my heart is sad and darkened, As the shining river darkens When the clouds drop shadows on it! When thou smilest, my beloved, Then my troubled heart is brightened, As in sunshine gleam the ripples That the cold wind makes in rivers.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Talk not of wasted affection - affection never was wasted.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Patience; accomplish thy labor; accomplish thy work of affection!   Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike.   Therefore accomplish thy labor of love, till the heart is made godlike,   Purified, strengthened, perfected, and rendered more worthy of heaven!
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There is no Death! What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysian, Whose portal we call Death. She is not dead,--the child of our affection,-- But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ himself doth rule. Excerpt from the poem Resignation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Yes, Death brings us again to our friends. They are waiting for us, and we shall not long delay. They have gone before us, and are like the angels in heaven. They stand near the borders of the grave to welcome us, with the countenance of affection, which they wore on earth; yet more lovely, more radiant, more spiritual! O, he spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels!
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is difficult to know what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is no secret I tell you, nor am I ashamed to declare it: I have liked to be with you, to see you, to speak with you always.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Love is life's end, but never ending. Love is life's wealth, never spent, but ever spending. Love's life's reward, rewarded in rewarding.
~ Herbert Spencer
I do have the most adorable little Chihuahua mix. I adopted him about 3 1/2 years ago from Much Love pet adoption, and he has been the love of my life ever since. His name is Beau, or as my sister and I like to call him ' mushy mush' because he truly is just a pile of loving mush that just melts in your arms.
~ Torrey DeVitto
People yell at me because I often say that everyone's my best friend, but it's true! I think that's why I like playing the best friend so much, is because I love best friends.
~ Beanie Feldstein
It's so important to keep a marriage alive with small treats and doing little things for each other. Just remembering to say nice things and to have listening time is vital. That ghastly phrase 'quality time' means taking three minutes to sit down and be still with someone rather than yelling over your shoulder as you rush out.
~ Joanna Lumley
There aren't too many things that make you feel better than a little kid seeing you, yelling your name, and running to you.

I want so much for my lover. At night when our beds are drawn close together I waken and see his dear yellow head on the pillow - sometimes his arm thrown over on my bed - and I kiss his hand, very softly so that it will not waken him.

~ Caitriona Balfe
I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.
~ Christina Milian
Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.
~ Thomas de Quincey
