Quotes about Affection

A woman never tells you why she loves; she just tells you how she loves.
- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Why is anyone lovable - if it be not that God put His love into each of us?
- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honour more.
- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
A man's love decreases with the revelation of defects; a woman's does not. A woman gets angry when a man denies his faults, because she knew them all along. His lying mocks her affection; it is the deceit that angers her more than the faults. There is something divine in that kind of love, because God loves us in spite of all defects, our failings, and our sins. A man may stand for the Justice of God, but a woman stands for His Mercy.
- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
A friendship founded on usefulness or pleasure. In this kind of love, the lover loves himself more than his friend. That is why, if the friend ever prevents him from realizing what he wants, his love turns to hate.
- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
We are wired to find love.
- Helen Fisher
I think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have. And sometimes, I don't know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with.
- Lady Gaga
Women are made to be loved, not understood.
- Oscar Wilde
The thoughts of those moved by natural human love are almost completely fastened on the beloved, their hearts are filled with passion for it, and their mouths full of its praises.
- Francis de Sales
A woman should occasionally be babied enough to show her the man had affection, but beyond that she should be treated firmly. These tough women said that it worked with them. All women, by their nature, are fragile and weak: they are attracted to the male in whom they see strength.
- Malcolm X
Your ability to control your thoughts—treat it with respect. It's all that protects your mind from false perceptions—false to your nature, and that of all rational beings. It's what makes thoughtfulness possible, and affection for other people, and submission to the divine.
- Marcus Aurelius
If I thought this would never happen again I would die. But this is wrong, nobody dies from lack of sex. It's lack of love we die from.
- Margaret Atwood
