In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar,-O, they fish with all nets In the School of Coquettes! When her brooch she forgets 'Tis to show her new collar; In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar!

Henry Austin Dobson

Coquettes know how to please, not love, and that is why men love them SO much.

Pierre de Marivaux

Heroes have gone out; quacks have come in; the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp; the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other.

Thomas Carlyle

All women seem by nature to be coquettes.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The characteristic of coquettes is affectation governed by whim.

Henry Fielding

And life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.

Alice Herz-Sommer

The ladies--Heaven bless them!--are, as a general rule, coquettes from babyhood upwards.

William Makepeace Thackeray

A modern writer likens coquettes to those hunters who do not eat the game which they have successfully pursued.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Love is of something, and that which love desires is not that which love is or has; for no man desires that which he is or has. And love is of the beautiful, and therefore has not the beautiful. And the beautiful is the good, and therefore, in wanting and desiring the beautiful, love also wants and desires the good.

Plato

I think I am in my last days, but it doesn't really matter because I have had such a beautiful life. I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times - including my husband, my mother and my beloved son. Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate. Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.

Alice Herz-Sommer

Beauty is the lowest common denominator: I don't care what they say - every girl, every woman, wants to feel pretty and empowered and beautiful, within their own definition of beautiful. I love fashion, I love shopping, but I love beauty more because I love the science of it.

Eva Chen

I love reading beautiful stories. I love poems and yes, I fantasize about someone writing beautiful lines for me.

Neha Sharma

I love New Orleans physically. I love the trees and the balmy air and the beautiful days. I have a beautiful house here.

Anne Rice

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Never underestimate the power of love. The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost. The heart has its reasons that reason does not know at all. Music is love in search of a word. There is pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.
