“The Night is young
& full of rest
I can’t describe
the way she’s dress’d
She’ll pander to some strange
requests
Anything that you suggest
Anything to please her guest.”

“It has never been recommended to confuse "loving" with "seeking to please"… …Salome pleased Herod's guests; I can hardly believe she was burning with love for them. As for poor John the Baptist… …she certainly did not envelop him in her love.”

“Her reasoning is full of tricks
And butterfly suggestions,
I know no point to which she sticks;
She begs the simplest questions,
And, when her premises are strong
She always draws her inference wrong.”

Alfred Cochrane (1865–1948) English cricketer

Upon Lebia Arguing, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Hamilton took a deep breath, let it out, then said, “Listen to me. I don’t know much about women, and sometimes it seems like I didn’t know anything about them. But I’m sure of this—she won’t let a little thing like you taking a pot shot at her stand in the way if you ever had any chance with her at all. She’ll forgive you.”
“You don’t really mean that, do you?” Monroe-Alpha’s face was still tragic, but he clutched at the hope.
“Certainly I do. Women will forgive anything.” With a flash of insight he added, “Otherwise the race would have died out long ago.””
