Helen Rowland
Image
Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts, and his higher nature - and another woman to help him forget them.
Helen Rowland
Image
A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval.
Helen Rowland
Image
Going through life without love is like going through a good dinner without an appetite -- everything seems so flat and tasteless.
Helen Rowland

Helen Rowland
Image
Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.
Helen Rowland
Image
A good woman is known by what she does a good man by what he doesn't.
Helen Rowland
Image
A good woman inspires a man, a brilliant woman interests him, a beautiful woman fascinates him, but a sympathetic woman gets him.
