Handsome

Famous quotes containing the word handsome:

“The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a trull with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

“She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

“Those who have ruled human destinies, like planets, for thousands of years, were not handsome men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
