Famous quotes containing the words mistress and/or quickly:

    “The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Because one has little fear of shocking vanity in Italy, people adopt an intimate tone very quickly and discuss personal things.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
