People instinctively know the difference between something done with a profit motive and something done with a love motive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that the human motive to share is very powerful. The human motive to profit is also very powerful, and I think that the profit motive and the sharing motive are not exclusive.
I want my books to explore motives which make people think, 'Wow! Imagine the psychological state you'd have to be in for that to be your motive!' Whereas things like blackmail, jealousy - they're rational reasons for committing murder.
Money can't buy love, but it improves your bargaining position.
Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.
The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else.
Love gives itself; it is not bought.
Love works not for profit nor reward; yet God has ordained that great gain shall be the certain result of every labor of love.
There's no way to know the motives of another person totally, even a person that you know very well.
