The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry.  ~François Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims


Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?  ~Helen Rowland


Women know not the whole of their coquetry.  ~François Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims


Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.  ~Charles Reade


The coquets of both sexes are self-lovers, and that is a love no other whatever can dispossess.  ~John Gay, The Beggar's Opera

Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it.  Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose - easily trimmed off when once plucked.  Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters.  ~Ik Marvel
