Who said “Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.”?

“I never met a man I didn't like.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The secret anniversaries of the heart.”

“All things come round to him who will but wait.”

“In this world a man must either be anvil or hammer.”

“Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.”

“All things must change to something new, to something strange.”

“That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.”
