quotes by topic Attraction

" That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste. "

Attraction , Beauty

" Mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together. "

Love , Attraction

" I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously revived, great and strong! He made me love him without looking at me. "

Charlotte Bront

Attraction , Affection

" And perhaps it was precisely because she knew nothing at all about chess that chess for her was not simply a parlor game or a pleasant pastime, but a mysterious art equal to all the recognized arts. She had never been in close contact with such people ‚Äî there was no one to compare him with except those inspired eccentrics, musicians and poets whose image one knows as clearly and as vaguely as that of a Roman Emperor, an inquisitor or a comedy miser. Her memory contained a modest dimly lit gallery with a sequence of all the people who had in any way caught her fancy. "

Vladimir Nabokov

Attraction

" Nothing like beautiful legs. 'Cause with beautiful legs, even if you've been there only once or twice, there might be something up there besides the cunt, there might be something really marvellous this time - it could be a cunt, but it could be - it's just something about looking at the legs just makes you - I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the cunt, I'm just saying, you always imagine - some extra magic when you're looking at the outside portion of the female. "

Charles Bukowski

" Adrian smiled and clasped my hands, taking a few steps toward me. "And as for who you are, you‚Äôre the same beautiful, brave, and ridiculously smart caffeinated fighter you‚Äôve been since the day I met you.‚Äù Finally, he put ‚Äúbeautiful‚Äù at the top of his list of adjectives. Not that I should have cared.‚ÄúSweet talker,‚Äù I scoffed. ‚ÄúYou didn‚Äôt know anything about me the first time we met.‚Äù‚ÄúI knew you were beautiful,‚Äù he said. ‚ÄúI just hoped for the rest. "

" Do you know what I see in you now? The usual aura. A steady golden yellow, healthy and strong, with spikes of purple here and there. But when I do this. . . .‚ÄùHe rested a hand on my hip, and my whole body tensed up. That hand moved around my hip, slipping under my shirt to rest on the small of my back. My skin burned where he touched me, and the places that were untouched longed for that heat.. The colors deepen, it burns more intensely, the purple increases. Why? Why, Sydney?‚Äù He used that hand on me to pull me closer. ‚ÄúWhy do you react that way if I don‚Äôt mean anything to you?‚Äù There was a desperation in his voice, and it was legitimate. "

" That's the kind of guy you'd follow to hell and back. "

Attraction

" When you have two people who love each other, are happy and gay and really good work is being done by one or both of them, people are drawn to them as surely as migrating birds are drawn at night to a powerful beacon. If the two people were as solidly constructed as the beacon there would be little damage except to the birds. Those who attract people by their happiness and their performance are usually inexperienced. They do not know how not to be overrun and how to go away. They do not always learn about the good, the attractive, the charming, the soon-beloved, the generous, the understanding rich who have no bad qualities and who give each day the quality of a festival and who, when they have passed and taken the nourishment they needed, leave everything deader than the roots of any grass Attila's horses' hooves have ever scoured. "

Ernest Hemingway
