“My sister once warned me that a man who blushed so easily was probably a Man With Appetites.”

“A girl who would fall in love so easily or want a man to love her so easily would probably get over it just as quickly, very little the worse for wear. On the contrary, a girl who would take love seriously would probably be a good while finding herself in love and would require something beyond mere friendly attentions from a man before she would think of him in that light.”

“In the back of my mind, my mother's often-recited warning comes to me: 'Never trust a man who can dance.”

“You're the kind of man my mother warned me about.”

“Man is the only animal who blushes...or needs to.”

"How so?""Well," said Bod. "If I go outside in the world, the question isn't who will keep me safe from him?""No?""No. It's who will keep him safe from me?”
