“Champagne arrived in flûtes on trays, and we emptied them with gladness in our hearts... for when feasts are laid and classical music is played, where champagne is drunk once the sun has sunk and the season of summer is alive in spicy bloom, and beautiful women fill the room, and are generous with laughter and smiles... these things fill men's hearts with joy and remind one that life’s bounty is not always fleeting but can be captured, and enjoyed. It is in writing about this scene that I relive this night in my soul.”
― Roman Payne

“No one could see her objectively anyway. Even those who saw her for the first time, before she had opened her mouth to sing. Found her radiant, as if her talent could not be contained in her voice and so poured like light though her skin. Then all that could be seen was the weight and the gloss of her hair and the pale pink of her cheeks and her beautiful hands.”
― Ann Patchett, Bel Canto

“How beautiful or handsome you are it doesn't depend on your skin color, body height, weight, age, race, origin & faith. It depends on the level of your confidence, optimism, nimbleness, look and smile. How important you are to people it doesn't depend on your appearance, money, power, family and education. It depends on the level of your honesty, expertise, kindness and love.”
― Lord Robin

“Most middle-aged men want a younger woman as a partner. [...] Men could train their eyes to appreciate the beauty in older faces and bodies like I did – it would help if we saw more older women in the media, your sense of beauty adjusts with constant exposure — but I don't think men are willing to put in that kind of effort.”
― Viv Albertine, To Throw Away Unopened

― Lebo Grand

“Flecks of light danced over her cheeks, scattered by the nearby perforated iron firepots at the stall. It made her appear to sparkle like a creature out of Scottish lore. Beautiful women were often dangerous in those stories: disguised as a water spirit or a witch, to ensnare a hapless male and lead him to his fate. No escape, no mercy. As a young boy, Keir had always wondered why the men hadn't tried to resist.
"Ah, weel," his father had explained, "they're enchanters of men, bonnie women are, and when they beckon, we can't help but follow."
"I wouldn't!" Keir had said indignantly. "I'd stay home and take care of Mither."
There had come a chuckle from the stove, where his mother had been frying potatoes. "A good laddie, y'are," she'd called out.
His father had grinned and stretched out before the hearth, lacing his fingers together over his middle. "Someday, lad, you'll ken exactly why a man falls to temptation, even knowing the better of it."
And, as in most things, Keir thought ruefully, his father had been right.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Disguise

― Ian Kirkpatrick, Dead End Drive

“Boys always stared at Leeda, but they stared at Murphy harder because Leeda looked fine like china, but Murphy looked like the world’s most decadent banana split. Boys were scared of both of them. Scared of Leeda because she looked too cool to touch and scared of Murphy because they were afraid she might bite them.”
― Jodi Lynn Anderson, The Secrets of Peaches

“Briar waved a hand and gave a tinkling happy laugh. He flinched. This was unbearable. The lass was as fresh and pretty as a daisy and seemed just as oblivious to her own charms as a garden flower was, too.
She smelled much better than a daisy, however. Daisies were highly overrated flowers. When you got up close to one, they smelled disappointingly like manure. No, Briar Blakeley smelled like something delicious. Like something you wouldn’t mind popping straight into your mouth. Like cake baked with vanilla and cinnamon. Or a confectionary’s shop.
She was sweet as honey, probably twice as naive, and something about her was making his blood pound and his loins tighten. The sooner he could get rid of her the better.”
― Fenna Edgewood
