Attraction Quotations

Progress is the attraction that moves humanity.
Marcus Garvey

Henry Ward Beecher

He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.
Megan Fox

To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song.
Henri Frederic Amiel
