Ravens bring things to people. We're like that. It's our nature. We don't like it.
Peter S. BeagleIf nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.

The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its
value.
The great art of giving consists in this the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.
Baltasar GraciánThe manner of giving is worth more than the gift.
Pierre CorneilleWhen it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing.

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.
Gautama BuddhaFor so many centuries, the exchange of gifts has held us together. It has made it possible to bridge the abyss where language struggles.
Barry LopezPresents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.
Carlos Ruiz ZafónSecrets. Funny how, when you're about to be given something precious, something you've wanted for a long time, you suddenly feel nervous over taking it.
Everyone wants more than anything to be allowed into someone else's most secret self. Everyone wants to allow someone into their most secret self. Everyone feels so alone inside that their deepest wish is for someone to know their secret being, because then they are alone no longer. Don't we all long for this? Yet when it's offered it's frightening, because you might not live up to the desires of the one who bestows the gift. And frightening because you know that accepting such a gift means you'll want-perhaps be expected- to offer a similar gift in return. Which means giving your *self* away. And what's more frightening than that?
