Quotations for caressing

Imperious Venus is less potent than caressing Venus.

That caressing and exquisite grace - never bold, ever present - which just a few women possess. [ Owen Meredith ]

God took his softest clay and his purest colors, and made a fragile jewel, mysterious and caressing - the finger of woman; then he fell asleep. The devil awoke, and at the end of that rosy finger put a nail. [ Victor Hugo ]
