I want affection and tenderness desperately, but there's something in me that prevents me from handing it out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I need to give affection and love, because without that, I wither. I need to give that love to someone. Without that, I'm rudderless.
It's hard for anybody who's been with me not to feel starved for affection when I'm making love to my ideas. Maybe it's not meant for me to settle down and be married.
I try to stay away from forced intimacy.
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
Most people would rather give than get affection.
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.
I foster a sorrowful conception of affection. Make no sacrifices.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
A therapist might suggest my generosity is a way of buying affection. But buying people's love has never been an issue for me. Generally speaking, I don't want their love.
