Nymph Quotations
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
David Herbert Lawrence

Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph.
Iris Murdoch

Rex Hunt
