Need-love says of a woman I cannot live without her; Gift-love longs to give her happiness, comfort, protection - if possible, wealth; Appreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all. ✨ The Four Loves. Book by C. S. Lewis, 1960.
