Quotations
"Merely innocent flirtation,"
"Not quite adultery, but adulteration" [Lord Byron Don Juan]
"Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose - easily trimmed off when once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters" [Donald Grant Mitchell Reveries of a Bachelor]
"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" [Mae West Diamond Lil]
