Men love because they are afraid of themselves, afraid of the loneliness that lives in them, and need someone in whom they can lose themselves as smoke loses itself in the sky. – V.F. Calverton
Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like, for instance, he cant find any clean socks. – Jean Kerr
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance. – Arthur Helps
