He saw her as the passionate spirit of innocent youth, now beleaguered by the trick which is played on youth - the trick of treachery in the body, which turns flesh into green bones. Her stupid finery was not vulgar to him, but touching. The girl was still there, still appealing from behind the breaking barricade of rouge. She had made the brave protest: I will not be vanquished. Under the clumsy coquetry, the undignified clothes, there was the human cry for help. The young eyes were puzzled, saying: It is I, inside here - what have they done to me? I will not submit. Some part of her spirit knew that the powder was making a guy of her, and hated it, and tried to hold her lover with the eyes alone. They said: Don't look at all this. Look at me. I am still here, in the eyes. Look at me, here in the prison, and help me out. Another part said: I am not old, it is illusion. I am beautifully made-up. See, I will perform the movements of youth. I will defy the enormous army of age. ~ T.H. White
Coquetry quotes by T.H. White
Being a woman, I have found the road rougher than had I been born a man. Different defenses, different codes of ethics, different approaches to problems and personalities are a woman's lot. I have preferred to shun what is known as feminine wiles, the subterfuge of subtlety, reliance on tears and coquetry to shape my way. I am forthright, often blunt. I have learned to be a realist despite my romantic, emotional nature. I have no illusions that age, the rigors of my profession, disappointments, and unfulfilled dreams have not left their mark.

I am proud that I have carved my path on earth almost entirely by my own efforts, proud that I have compromised in my career only when I had no other recourse, when financial or contractual commitments dictated. Proud that I have never been involved in a physical liaison unless I was deeply attracted or in love. Proud that, whatever my worldly goods may be, they have been achieved by my own labors. ~ Joan Fontaine
Coquetry quotes by Joan Fontaine
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself. ~ William Hazlitt
Coquetry quotes by William Hazlitt
Blessedness is within us all
It lies upon the long scaffold
Patrols the vaporous hall
In our pursuits, though still, we venture forth
Hoping to grasp a handful of cloud and return
Unscathed, cloud in hand. We encounter
Space, fist, violin, or this - an immaculate face
Of a boy, somewhat wild, smiling in the sun.
He raises his hand, as if in carefree salute
Shading eyes that contain the thread of God.
Soon they will gather power, disenchantment
They will reflect enlightenment, agony
They will reveal the process of love
They will, in an hour alone, shed tears.
His mouth a circlet, a baptismal font
Opening wide as the lips of a damsel
Sounding the dizzying extremes.
The relativity of vein, the hip of unrest
For the sake of wing there is shoulder.
For symmetry there is blade.
He kneels, humiliates, he pierces her side.
Offering spleen to the wolves of the forest.
He races across the tiles, the human board.
Virility, coquetry all a game - well played.
Immersed in luminous disgrace, he lifts
As a slave, a nymph, a fabulous hood
As a rose, a thief of life, he will parade
Nude crowned with leaves, immortal.
He will sing of the body, his truth
He will increase the shining neck
Pluck airs toward our delight
Of the waning
The blossoming
The violent charade
But who will sing of him?
Who will sing of his blessedn ~ Patti Smith
Coquetry quotes by Patti Smith
We show wisdom by a decent conformity to social etiquette; it is excess of neatness or display that creates dandyism in men, and coquetry in women. ~ Robert Adam
Coquetry quotes by Robert Adam
A Turk for toughness, for hands that never tire; An Indian for her rounded bosom bursting with milk; A Persian for her tight crotch and her coquetry; An Uzbeg to thrash as a lesson for the three. ~ Khushwant Singh
Coquetry quotes by Khushwant Singh
The source of love, as I learned later, is a curiosity which, combined with the inclination which nature is obliged to give us in order to preserve itself. […] Hence women make no mistake in taking such pains over their person and their clothing, for it is only by these that they can arouse a curiosity to read them in those whom nature at their birth declared worthy of something better than blindness. […] As time goes on a man who has loved many women, all of them beautiful, reaches the point of feeling curious about ugly women if they are new to him. He sees a painted woman. The paint is obvious to him, but it does not put him off. His passion, which has become a vice, is ready with the fraudulent title page. 'It is quite possible,' he tells himself, 'that the book is not as bad as all that; indeed, it may have no need of this absurd artifice.' He decides to scan it, he tries to turn over the pages - but no! the living book objects; it insists on being read properly, and the 'egnomaniac' becomes a victim of coquetry, the monstrous persecutor of all men who ply the trade of love.

You, Sir, who are a man of intelligence and have read these least twenty lines, which Apollo drew from my pen, permit me to tell you that if they fail to disillusion you, you are lost - that is, you will be the victim of the fair sex to the last moment of your life. If that prospect pleases you, I congratulate you ~ Giacomo Casanova
Coquetry quotes by Giacomo Casanova
The only real grounds for attack which the expression of Armance's countenance could offer to her enemies was a singular look which she had at times when her mind was most detached. This fixed and profound gaze was one of extreme attention; there was nothing in it, certainly, that could shock the most severe delicacy; it suggested neither coquetry nor assurance; but no one could deny that it was singular, and, in that respect, out of place in a young person. Madame de Bonnivet's flatterers, when they were sure of being noticed, would sometimes imitate this look, in discussing Armance among themselves; but these vulgar spirits robbed it of an element that they had never thought of noticing. "It is with such eyes," Madame de Mali-vert said to them one day, out of patience with their malevolence, "that a pair of angels exiled among men and obliged to disguise themselves in mortal form, would gaze at one another in mutual recognition. ~ Stendhal
Coquetry quotes by Stendhal
"Even from the point of view of coquetry, pure and simple," he had told her, "can't you see how much of your attraction you throw away when you stoop to lying? ~ Marcel Proust
Coquetry quotes by Marcel Proust
Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance! ~ Coco Chanel
Coquetry quotes by Coco Chanel
Flirtation and coquetry are so nearly allied as to be identical; both are the art of successful and pleasing deception. ~ Louise Colet
Coquetry quotes by Louise Colet
Envy is destroyed by true friendship, as coquetry by true love. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The characteristic of coquettes is affectation governed by whim. ~ Henry Fielding
Coquetry quotes by Henry Fielding
Coquetry is the art of successful deception. ~ Louise Colet
Coquetry quotes by Louise Colet
Women can less easily surmount their coquetry than their passions. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Oh, maybe it started innocently,
with a joke, with coquetry, with amorous play, maybe, indeed, with an atom, but
this atom of lie penetrated their hearts, and they liked it. Then sensuality was
quickly born, sensuality generated jealousy, and jealousy - cruelty. . . Oh, I don't
know, I don't remember, but soon, very soon, the first blood was shed; they were
astonished and horrified, and began to part, to separate. Alliances appeared, but
against each other now. Rebukes, reproaches began. They knew shame, and shame
was made into a virtue. The notion of honor was born, and each alliance raised its
own banner. They began tormenting animals, and the animals withdrew from them
into the forests and became their enemies. There began the struggle for separation,
for isolation, for the personal, for mine and yours. They started speaking different
languages. They knew sorrow and came to love sorrow, they thirsted for suffering
and said that truth is attained only through suffering. Then science appeared
among them. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Coquetry quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A girl's coquetry is of the simplest, she thinks that all is said when the veil is laid aside; a woman's coquetry is endless, she shrouds herself in veil after veil, she satisfies every demand of man's vanity, the novice responds but to one. ~ Honore De Balzac
Coquetry quotes by Honore De Balzac
A woman in love has full intelligence of her power; the more virtuous she is, the more effective her coquetry. ~ Honore De Balzac
Coquetry quotes by Honore De Balzac
A woman has the age she deserves. ~ Coco Chanel
Coquetry quotes by Coco Chanel
Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty. ~ Victor Hugo
Coquetry quotes by Victor Hugo
Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose - easily trimmed off when once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters. ~ Donald Grant Mitchell
Coquetry quotes by Donald Grant Mitchell
The most effective coquetry is innocence. ~ Alphonse De Lamartine
Coquetry quotes by Alphonse De Lamartine
[The Writer silently passes her a pint bottle of whiskey.] Thank you, Mr.
?
WRITER: Chekhov! Anton Pavlovitch Chekhov!
MRS HARDWICKE-MOORE [smiling with the remnants of coquetry]: Thank you, Mr.
Chekhov. ~ Tennessee Williams
Coquetry quotes by Tennessee Williams
Kindness is the only charm permitted to the aged; it is the coquetry of white hairs. ~ Octave Feuillet
Coquetry quotes by Octave Feuillet
Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do. ~ Anna Held
Coquetry quotes by Anna Held
The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Neither coquetry nor love is imbued with discretion. ~ Sophie Arnould
Coquetry quotes by Sophie Arnould
Women know not the whole of their coquetry. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry is the champagne of love. ~ Thomas Hood
Coquetry quotes by Thomas Hood
Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Women can never forgive me; they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry. ~ Edgar Degas
Coquetry quotes by Edgar Degas
Women find it far more difficult to overcome their inclination to coquetry than to overcome their love. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
A very common symptom in maniacal conditions is erotic excitement. This varies from mere coquetry, a somewhat extended application of the command "love one another", an undue attention to the opposite sex, and so forth, up to the extreme of salacity, when the mind is wholly occupied by the urgent sexual appetite, and all restraint is abandoned. ~ Daniel Hack Tuke
Coquetry quotes by Daniel Hack Tuke
Pretty, but badly dressed," breath of an oracle which had passed by her and vanished after depositing in her heart one of the two germs which must afterwards fill the whole life of the woman, coquetry. Love is the other. ~ Victor Hugo
Coquetry quotes by Victor Hugo
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress. ~ Coco Chanel
Coquetry quotes by Coco Chanel
In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar,-O, they fish with all nets In the School of Coquettes! When her brooch she forgets 'Tis to show her new collar; In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar! ~ Henry Austin Dobson
Coquetry quotes by Henry Austin Dobson
Tis a sort of coquetry to boast that we never coquet. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Coquetry quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval. ~ Helen Rowland
Coquetry quotes by Helen Rowland
