QUOTABLE QUOTES

Gifts and Giving
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to 
know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. 
Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment 
more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is 
received and given.

Pamela Glenconner (1871–1928), British author. Edward 
Wyndhan Tennant: A Memoir, ch. 5 (1919).
------

Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.
Walter Benjamin (1892–1940), German critic, philosopher.
-------

It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and 
keep; they suppose that it is they themselves and what they 
identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, 
whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their 
system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.

James Baldwin (1924–87), U.S. author. “Letter from a Region 
in My Mind,”
-------

One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
George Eliot (1819–80), English novelist.
-----

When people grow gradually rich their requirements and 
standard of living expand in proportion, while their 
present-giving instincts often remain in the undeveloped 
condition of their earlier days. Something showy and
not-too-expensive in a shop is their only conception of the 
ideal gift.
-Saki [H. H. Munro] (1870–1916), Scottish author.
