William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes

Whilst Ladies Persist In Maintaining The Strictly Defensive Condition, Men Must Naturally, As It Were, Take The Oppposite Line, That Of Attack; Otherwise, If Both Parties Held Aloof, There Would Be No More Marriages; And The Two Hosts Would Die In Their Respective Inaction, Without Ever Coming To A Battle. Thus It Is Evident That As The Ladies Will Not, The Men Must Take The Offensive ... Is It Not Time That The Ladies Should Take An Innings? Let Us Widowers And Bachelors Form An Association To Declare That For The Next Hundred Years We Will Make Love No Longer. Let The Young Women Come And Make Love To Us; Let Them Write Us Verses; Let Them Ask Us To Dance, Get Us Ices And Cups Of Tea, And Help Us On With Our Cloaks At The Hall-door; And If They Are Eligible, We May Perhaps Be Induced To Yield And Say, 'La, Miss Hopkins - I Really Never - I Am So Agitated - Ask Papa!
