Charm

Quotes



There are secret ties, there are sympathies, by the sweet relationship of which souls that are well matched attach themselves to each other, and are affected by I know not what, which cannot be explained
Charm is the quality in others, that makes us more satisfied with ourselves
To me more dear, congenial to my heart,
One native charm, than all the gloss of art.
