Coquettes know how to please, not love, and that is why men love them SO much.
Pierre de Marivaux
Image
All women seem by nature to be coquettes.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
It rarely happens otherwise than that a thorough-faced coquette dies in celibacy, as a punishment for her attempts to mislead others, by encouraging looks, words, or actions, given for no other purpose than to draw men on to make overtures that they may be rejected.
George Washington
Image
A coquette is a young lady of more beauty than sense, more accomplishments than learning, more charms not person than graces of mind, more admirers than friends, mole fools than wise men for attendants.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
For a woman to be at once a coquette and a bigot is more than the humblest of husbands can bear she should mercifully choose between the two.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Life is not long enough for a coquette to play all her tricks in.
Joseph Addison
Image
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Image
Popular glory is a perfect coquette her lovers must toil, feel every inquietude, indulge every caprice, and perhaps at last be jilted into the bargain. True glory, on the other hand, resembles a woman of sense her admirers must play no tricks. They feel no great anxiety, for they are sure in the end of being rewarded in proportion to their merit.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
The coquette has companions, indeed, but no lovers,--for love is respectful and timorous and where among her followers will she find a husband?

Washington Irving

The ladies--Heaven bless them!--are, as a general rule, coquettes from babyhood upwards.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
A coquette is like a recruiting sergeant, always on the lookout for fresh victims.
Douglas William Jerrold
Image
Beautiful coquettes are quacks of love.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
The life of a coquette is one constant lie and the only rule by which you can form any correct judgment of them is that they are never what they seem.
Henry Fielding
Image
It is too much for a husband to have a wife who is a coquette and sanctimonious as well she should select only one of those qualities.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared to a coquette - the more you woo her, the more apt is she to elude your embrace.
John Tyler
Image
Wit resembles a coquette those who the most eagerly run after it are the least favored.
Joseph Chenier
Image
I've always been given respect because I'm kind of mannish, and I'm not a great beauty. I've never played the coquette card because I'm no good at it.
Martha Wainwright
Image
Ce n'est gue' re que dans les asiles que les coquettes gardent avec ente tement une foi entie' re en des regards absents normalement, elles re clament des te moins. Women fond of dress are hardly ever entirely satisfied not to be seen, except among the insane usually they want witnesses.
Simone de Beauvoir
Image
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
William Hazlitt
