Affectionate

Famous quotes containing the word affectionate:

    Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    If I am to serve as an instrument of deceit, at least let it be with a clear conscience. I do not want to be considered either so affectionate or so loyal a servant as to be found fit to betray anyone.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
