“Generosity is not in giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is in giving me that which you need more than I do.”

“Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.”

“This is all I can offer, Wilhelmina, this is all of me. What you see is all I can give you, and what you asked of me requires more, so much more.You need more than flesh and mutual attraction. An ardent and eager slave I am, and I would do anything to make you happy. But for what you seek you need two hearts, and I have no heart to give.”

“You need me, Kane. Maybe even more than I need you.”

“The only help I need to live, is unprofessional. The only wealth I have to give, is not material. And if you need much more than that, I'm not available.”

“Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives. ”
