|
Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood.
Laurence Sterne God grant you all your desires and accept my own hearty thanks for all your attention to me. Although indeed, those attentions have tried me more than death can now terrify me. Jane Grey I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally. Ulysses S. Grant It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study? Jane Austen The penalty of success is to be bored by the attentions of people who formerly snubbed you. Mary Wilson Little Travellers, like poets, are mostly an angry race: by falling into a daily fit of passion, I proved to the governor and his son, who were profuse in their attentions, that I was in earnest. Richard Francis Burton When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one. Helen Rowland Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority. Mary Wollstonecraft |
