More quotes by Charlotte Charke
The least glimmering or shade of acting, in man or woman, is a sure motive of envy in the rest and, if their malice can't persuade the town's-people into a dislike of their performance, they'll cruelly endeavor to taint their characters.
Charlotte Charke
I have observed gratitude to be a principle, that bears the smallest share in the hearts of those where it ought to be most strongly resident, so that I begin to imagine one half of the world don't understand the real etymology of the word.
