"Sex appeal is something you feel deep inside. I can convey as much fully clothed, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain."

Audrey Hepburn
"I'm not stacked like Sophia Lauren or Gina Lollobrigida, but I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness."

"She just wore enough for modesty – no more."

Robert Williams Buchanan (1841-1901), White Rose and Red


(I'm not sure what Buchanan intended, but I like the quote because it leaves room for beauty, but not at the expense of modesty. I don't think of it in terms of the world's definition of bare minimums and midriffs, but rather a standard that needs to be met first, like honesty or integrity.)
