Women find it far more difficult to overcome their inclination to coquetry than to overcome their love. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld Though it is pleasant weaving nets, it is wiser to make cages. - Thomas Moore Then in a kiss she breath'd her various arts, Of trifling prettily with wounded hearts; A mind for love, but still a changing mind; The lisp affected, and the glance design'd; The sweet confusing blush, the secret wink, The gentle-swimming walk, the courteous sink; The stare for strangeness fit, for scorn the frown For decent yielding, looks declining down; The practised languish, where well-feign'd desire Would own its melting in a mutual fire; Gay smiles to comfort; April showers to move; And all the nature, all the art of love. - Thomas Parnell, Hesiod; Or, the Rise of Woman Faints into airs and languishes with pride; On the rich quilt sinks with becoming woe, Wrapt in a gown for sickness and for show. - Alexander Pope "With every pleasing; every prudent part, Say, What can Chloe want?"--she wants a heart. She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought; But never, never reach'd one generous thought. - Alexander Pope A bikini is not a bikini unless it can be pulled through a wedding ring. - Louis Reard The ladies--Heaven bless them!--are, as a general rule, coquettes from babyhood upwards. - William Makepeace Thackeray A flirt is like a dipper attached to a hydrant; every one is at liberty to drink from it, but no one desires to carry it away. - Nathaniel Parker Willis Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
