"A tyrannous and gluttonous demand for affection..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it.”

“You are guilty of no evil, Ransom of Thulcandra, except a little fearfulness. For that, the journey you go on is your pain, and perhaps your cure: for you must be either mad or brave before it is ended.”

“When an artist is in the strict sense working, he of course takes into account the existing tastes, interests and capacity of his audience. These no less than the language , the marble, the paint, are part of his aw material.; to be used, tamed, sublimated, not ignored or defied. Haughty indifference to them is not genius, it is laziness and incompetence.”

“It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.”

“I think every human being, born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think that immense affection from other is in our blood. So therefore, the whole rest of life, other people show you smile, genuine sort of closeness feeling. You feel happy. Even animals also like that.”

“Pray steal me not, I'm Mrs. Dingley's, Whose heart in this four-footed thing lies.”

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”

“If selfishness is the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy!”

“We legislate against forestalling and monopoly; we would have a common granary for the poor; but the selfishness which hoards thecorn for high prices, is the preventative of famine; and the law of self-preservation is surer policy than any legislation can be.”
