We could build a lunar elevator right now. — Chris Impey

The smell of a woman is her most important quality. I'd loved women who were old and who were young; those with extra kilos and large rumps, and others so thin there was barely even skin to pinch, and every time I held them, I worried I would snap them in two.

I will forgive her a large nose, a cleft lip, even crossed-eyes; and I'll bathe in the jouissance of her intoxicating odour. — Roman Payne

Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine. — Franca Sozzani
