“It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey.”
Jean Baptiste Racine
“GRACES, n. Three beautiful goddesses, Aglaia, Thalia and Euphrosyne, who attended upon Venus, serving without salary. They were at no expense for board and clothing, for they ate nothing to speak of and dressed according to the weather, wearing whatever breeze happened to be blowing.”
Ambrose Bierce
“No one likes a fellow who is all rogue, but we'll forgive him almost anything if there is warmth of human sympathy underneath his rogueries. The immortal types of comedy are just such men.”
W. C. Fields
“There's no one beside Venus who would beat me in these championships,”
Serena Williams
“I can't believe I'm out of the tournament. There's no one, beside Venus, who would beat me,”
“No one gets me more motivated than Venus because I don't want her to catch up with me yet. She's at five (Grand Slam tournament titles) now. I still have seven. So I got to keep ahead.”
“If you're at Venus, you have no protecting magnetic field, and this million-mile-an-hour stream of ionization radiation slams straight into the upper atmosphere of the planet.”
