Famous quotes containing the words affectionate and/or behavior:
“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 (18711922)
“Excessive attention, even if its negative, is such a powerful reward to a child that it actually reinforces the undesirable behavior. You need to learn restraint, to respond to far fewer situations, to ask yourself questions like, Is this really important? Could I let this behavior go? What would happen if I just wait? Could I lose by doing nothing?”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
