What is valued?

Famous quotes containing the word valued:

    It is, perhaps, better to be valued as an object of passion than never to be valued at all.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    The opposite of love is not hate, as many believe, but rather indifference. Nothing communicates disinterest more clearly than distancing. A child cannot feel valued by parents who are forever absorbed in their own affairs.
    Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)

    I believe no gentleman would like to have his family affairs neglected because his wife was filling her head with crotchets and pothooks, and who, because she understood a few scraps of Latin, valued that more than minding her needle or providing her husband’s dinner.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
