“There are two powers in this world which cannot be matched. Beauty and Youth. Buy the beauty and imprison the youth. Give the best models, actress, and girls from town and nail them. I do not care how much it costs.”
“Captivated by youth and beauty, and that appearance of good humour which youth and beauty generally give”
“I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals”
“…for what after all is Youth and Beauty?”
“The man smiled at him a sly smile. As if they knew a secret between them, these two. Something of age and youth and their claims and the justice of those claims. And of the claims upon them. The world past, the world to come. Their common transiencies. Above all a knowing deep in the bone that beauty and loss are one.”
“After you then, buddy. Youth before beauty”
