Famous quotes containing the word tenderness:

    “Who has not felt the beauty of a woman’s arm?—the unspeakable suggestions of tenderness that lie in the dimpled elbow, and all the varied gently-lessening curves, down to the delicate wrist, with its tiniest, almost imperceptible nicks in the firm softness.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Swann was one of those men who, having long lived in the illusions of love, saw the well-being that they gave to many women heighten their happiness without evoking in these women any gratitude, any tenderness toward them; but in their child these men believe they feel an affection which, embodied in their very name, will make them outlast their death. When there was to no longer be a Charles Swann, there would still be a Mademoiselle Swann ... who would continue to love her departed father.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
