From Chapter One, Likings and Loves for the Sub-Human.
[Talking of Appreciative pleasures] We do not merely like the things; we pronounce them, in a momentarily God-like sense, "very good."
And now our principle of starting at the lowest -- without which "the highest does not stand" -- begins to pay a dividend. It has revealed to me a deficiency in our previous classification of the loves into those of Need and those of Gift. There is a third element in love, no less important than these, which is foreshadowed by our Appreciative pleasures. This judgment that the object is very good, this attention (almost homage) offered to it as a kind of debt, this wish that it should be and should continue being what it is even if we were never to enjoy it, can go not only to things but to persons. When it is offered to a woman we call it admiration; when to a man, hero-worship; when to God, worship simply.
