Coquette Quotations
I don't like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.
Thomas Carlyle
Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared to a coquette - the more you woo her, the more apt is she to elude your embrace.
John Tyler
A coquette is like a recruiting sergeant, always on the lookout for fresh victims.
Douglas Jerrold
