“I don't think there is a woman in the world who would not be a little flattered if one made love to her. It is that which makes women so irresistibly adorable.”

“She says it's really not very flattering to her that the women who fall in love with her husband are so uncommonly second-rate.”

“It’s on the field, it’s on the pane, it’s in the sky — beauty; and I can’t get at it; I can’t have it — I, she seemed to add, with that little clutch of the hand which was so characteristic, who adore it so passionately, would give the whole world to possess it!”

“Of all the women in the world the Parisian woman is the best to look at. When one knows her one discovers that she is not quite so different from other women as one would suppose from the way that she does her hair.”

“Real women don't love the richest guy in the world they love the guy who can make their world the richest.”

“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ”
