| Mae West
A hard man is good to find. A lady barber who made good. A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him. A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction. A man in love is like a clipped coupon – it's time to cash in. A man in the house is worth two in the street. A man's kiss is his signature. A woman is like a teabag, you never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water. An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises. Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly. Don't let a man put anything over on ya 'cept an umbrella. Don't marry a man to reform him – that's what reform schools are for. Everything's in the mind. That's where it all starts. Knowing what you want is the first step toward getting it. Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you. Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere. Good sex is like good bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand. Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie.Handle it with care. It's only my heart. He who hesitates is a damned fool.He who hesitates is last. He's so crooked he uses a corkscrew for a ruler. He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of. His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork. I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it. I feel like a million tonight. But one at a time. I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. I go for two kinds of men. The kind with muscles, and the kind without. I have been on more laps than a napkin. I like restraint, if it doesn't go too far. I never loved another person the way I loved myself. I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond. I only have "yes" men around me. Who needs "no" men? I only like two kinds of men, domestic and imported. I wrote the story myself. It's about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure. I'm the lady who works at Paramount all day, and Fox all night. If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning. Is that a gun in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me! It ain't no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any. It is better to be looked over than overlooked. It takes two to get one in trouble. It's hard to be funny when you have to be clean. It's not the men in my life . . . It's the life in my men.It's not what I do, but the way I do it. It's not what I say, but the way I say it. Keep a diary and one day it'll keep you. Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you. Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache. Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache. Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet. Men are my life, diamonds are my career! Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is. Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think that's very important. Say what you want about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins. Sex is an emotion in motion. She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong. So many men, so little time. Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired. There are no good girls gone wrong, just bad girls found out. They say love is blind ... and marriage is an institution. Well, I'm not ready for an institution for the blind just yet. Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often. To err is human – but it feels divine! To err is human, but it feels divine. Too much of a good thing is wonderful. Virtue has its own reward, but no sale at the box office. When a girl goes wrong – men go right after her. When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before. When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.When it comes to finances, remember that there are no withholding taxes on the wages of sin. When women go wrong, men go right after them. Why don't you come up and have a little ... scotch and sofa? Women are as old as they feel and men are old when they lose their feelings. Women with pasts interest men ... they hope history will repeat itself. Ya know it was a toss-up whether I go in for diamonds or sing in the choir. The choir lost. You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins. |
