(Woman psychic to woman client) So how come the tall, dark, handsome stranger I see in your future is a woman?
Nicole Hollander
Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces; for every woman who is not absolutely ugly thinks herself handsome.
Philip Stanhope

Sherilyn Fenn
It is a rare man who notices a handsome woman.
David Gemmell
Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
