Famous quotes containing the word tenderness:
“The pleasures and the cares of the luckiest ambition, even of limitless power, are nothing next to the intimate happiness that tenderness and love give. I am man before being a prince, and when I have the good fortune to be in love, my mistress addresses a man and not a prince.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Women’s virtue is frequently nothing but a regard to their own quiet and a tenderness for their reputation.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
