Charm

Famous quotes containing the word charm:

    You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.
    Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    People who behave at forty as they did at twenty must sometimes wonder why their charm is not working.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    What is charm then? The free giving of a grace, the spending of something given by nature in her role of spendthrift ... something extra, superfluous, unnecessary, essentially a power thrown away.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
