Marya Mannes
flirtation ... is a graceful salute to sex, a small impermanent spark between one human being and another, between a man and a woman not in need of fire.
Marya Mannes
In aid, the proper attitude is one omitting gratitude
Marya Mannes
All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction.

Marya Mannes
A man at his desk in a room with a closed door is a man at work. A woman at a desk in any room is available.
Marya Mannes
I don't think the advertisers have any real idea of their power not only to reflect but to mould society.
Marya Mannes
In our society those who are in reality superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not.
Marya Mannes
Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, a good mother, good-looking, good-tempered, well-dressed, well-groomed, and unaggressive.
Marya Mannes
television and radio violence was considered by most experts of minimal importance as a contributory cause of youthful killing. ... there were always enough experts to assure the public that crime and violence had nothing to do with crime and violence.
Marya Mannes
on Broadway money rules. Like a host of vultures, the ticket brokers, the speculators, the craft unions, the agents, the backers, the real estate owners move in on the creative body and take their bite. The world of dreams breathes in an iron lung and without this mechanical pumping it dies.

The Republicans think they have a corner on morality.
Marya Mannes
Ribbons a-flutter and orchids a-tremble, Yearly the vigilant Daughters assemble, Affirming in fervid and firm resolutions Their permanent veto on all revolutions.
