“The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty and to someone else if she is plain.”

“Trust a girl of sixteen for knowing well if she is pretty; concerning her plainness she may be ignorant.”

“She didn't know how to love, to give herself to someone, to out herself in someone else's keeping and take him into hers. She didn't trust anyone with her heart - or the darker places of her soul.”

“she was glad she had been scarred. She said that whoever loved her now would love her true self, and not her pretty face.”

“A woman can't do anything about her appearance. Either she's pretty or she isn't. But her character is quite another matter.”

“She was so open and frank… She made space around her, if we just behaved… Everybody seemed to trust this woman and gathered gladly around her.”

“Discipline is the great equalizer. If a young woman is beautiful but has no discipline, she will lose her looks as she grows older. If a plain woman is disciplined she will undoubtedly become more beautiful with time.”

“She had never been a pretty crier. She sobbed the way she did everything else - with passion and excess.”

“She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces.
She don't want to see.
She's a woman in love, but it's not me.”

“she may not be the most popular or prettiest but if you love her and she makes you smile.. what else matters?”
