“The aim of the liar is simply to charm, to delight, to give pleasure. He is the very basis of civilized society.”
Oscar Wilde
“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
“Heroine: girl who is perfectly charming to live with, in a book.”
Mark Twain
“Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.”
“Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.”
“It's off the beaten path. You're away from civilization in this dramatic place. That's part of the charm of the area. It's sort of a Southwest wilderness experience. You're not just there for the birds, but to take part in a dramatic natural vista.”
Greg Butcher
“Our pleasures are short, and can only charm at intervals; love is a method of protraction our greatest pleasure.”
Oliver Goldsmith
