Our love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not make us soft. We regard wealth as something to be properly used, rather than as something to boast about. As for poverty, no one need be ashamed to admit it, the real shame is in not taking practical measures to escape from it.

 

Pericles

 

It was my shame, and now it is my boast,
That I have loved you rather more than most.

 

Hilaire Belloc

 

When love once pleas admission to our hearts,
(In spite of all the virtue we can boast),
The woman that deliberates is lost.

 

Joseph Addison

And in this moment, I need to be needed.
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked.
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted.
'Cause I love to be loved.
I love to be loved.
I love to be loved.
Yes, I love to be loved.

 

Peter Gabriel
