3 quotes

A woman that is all smiles and graces is a vixen at heart; snakes fascinate.

A woman, a dog, and a walnut tree,
The more you lick ’em the better they be.

The Clockmaker (1838)

Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned lark, open the door and it's off for ever. The bird that roams through the sky and the grove unrestrained, knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself, but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture.
