| "Affection towards clan-mates, love of children, deference to
authority, disinclination to kill those who have reminded us of common
humanity, even some respect for property; these features of human life do
not, it seems, stem from our intellectual gifts. We share them with our
cousins." | |

affection." | |

thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped By sympathy, than by
service; love is more than money, and A kind word will give more pleasure
than a present." | |

Sir John Lubbock
|
|
| "I do not permit affection, or lack thereof, to influence my actions.
There is good, and there is evil. The good must be protected; the evil
eradicated. I have shown you the triumph of evil, as a caution." | |

duties even." | |

| "There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must
be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a
series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of
food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection
increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the
affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no
circumstances can the food be omitted." | |
