Who said “Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the…”?

“I never met a man I didn't like.”

“Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.”

“It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love. And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.”

“A woman's life is a history of the affections.”

“Most people would rather give than get affection.”

“Life is made up of marble and mud.”

“A woman's chastity consists, like an onion, of a series of coats.”

“Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.”

“We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.”

“Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.”

“No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.”
