Quotes

• “And loveliest sight of all, in front of the fire, stretched at full length, was his tiger – and on him – also at full length – reclined the lady, garbed in some strange clinging garment of heavy purple crepe, its hem embroidered with gold, one white arm resting on the beast's head, her back supported by a pile of the velvet cushions, and a heap of rarely bound books at her side, while between her red lips was a rose not redder than they – an almost scarlet rose.”
• “A madness of tender caressing seized her. She purred as a tiger might have done, while she undulated like a snake.”
• “No matter what he does, one always forgives him. It does not depend upon looks, either – although this actual person is abominably good-looking – it does not depend upon intelligence or character or – anything – as you say, it is just "it".”
• “To have "It", the fortunate possessor must have that strange magnetism which attracts both sexes. He or she must be entirely unselfconscious and full of self-confidence, indifferent to the effect he or she is producing, and uninfluenced by others. There must be physical attraction, but beauty is unnecessary.”
• “He had that nameless charm, with a strong magnetism which can only be called "It", and cats – as well as women – always knew when he came into the room.”
• “Would you like to sinWith Elinor GlynOn a tiger skin?Or would you preferTo errWith herOn some other fur?”
