“Beauty is charm.”

“The vampire could woo any woman with his charisma and his charm, but he only wishes to romance her.. for eternity.”

“Have you ever danced like a peacock with all of your style, beauty and charm?”

“Ultimate prosperity is one’s value within. It takes a man of depth, morality, and charm to be envied yet without a sign of wealth or romance. A passion to prove such inner worth is his permission to achieve whatever he desires.”

“He looked with deep attention to me as if he was drinking in my style, my charms, and my beauty.”

“Would you favor me with a dance?” Over all the others I was his choice! I curtsied, and he took my hand. Our hands knew each other. Char looked at me, startled. “Have we met before, Lady?”

“He put his hand on my waist, and my heart began to pound, a rougher rhythm than the music. I held my skirt. Our free hands met. His felt warm and comforting and unsettling and bewildering–all at once.”

“He’s an indulgent sort of man……With a quick lip and a fierce tongue, the sort of tongue that draws you in with charm and words of praise, awkward silences and desperate worships.”

“Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm, he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, distant because of his demonstrated flawlessness, and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way.”

“You can con God and get away with it, Granny said, if you do so with charm and wit. If you live your life with imagination and verve, God will play along just to see what outrageously entertaining thing you’ll do next.”
