“charm”
“There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament.”
“Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.”
“The oddities of charming people exasperate us, but there are few if any charming people who are not, at the same time, odd.”
“Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we’re indifferent to whether we win or lose?”
“I feel myself trying to be charming, and then I realize I’m obviously trying to be charming, and then I try to be even more charming to make up for the fake charm, and then I’ve basically turned into Liza Minnelli: I’m dancing in tights and sequins, begging you to love me. There’s a bowler and jazz hands and lots of teeth.”
