Oliver Markus
“The sexier the other woman is, the more jealous your wife gets. And that's where slut shaming comes from. When a woman is too sexually attractive, when she's too good at attracting the attention of the opposite sex, other women will shame her for it, because they are afraid she will steal their men.”
Oliver Markus, Why Men And Women Can't Be Friends

Ruta Sepetys
“She must have been a nurse. She looked a few years older than me. Pretty. Naturally pretty, the type that's still attractive, even more so, when she's filthy.”
Ruta Sepetys, Salt to the Sea

Rick Riordan
“Despite the elder-hippie vibe, she was so attractive that I assumed we must be related.”
Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

Sandra Cisneros
“Once you tell a man he's pretty, there's no taking it back. They think they're pretty all the time, and I suppose, in a way, they are. It's got to do with believing it.”
Sandra Cisneros (Author)

“Evil is appealing, evil is attractive, evil is stylish. However, evil is still evil and it deserves to be treated just like that.”

Zack Love
“What’s SQ?” asked Evan.
“Sexual Quotient.”
“What’s that?”
“Basically, it’s your odds of getting laid. Everyone has an SQ. just like everyone has an IQ.”
“I’ve never heard that term before.”
“That’s because I made it up.”
“That figures. Finally applying your actuarial skills to what really matters, eh?”
Zack Love, Sex in the Title: A Comedy about Dating, Sex, and Romance in NYC

Zack Love
“The official recruiting process for their posse began. Because Carlos, Narc, and Trevor each had high SQs, Heeb and Evan reasoned that adding the three to their group would raise the average SQ of each group member (much the way that colleges recruit individuals with higher test scores to increase the average test scores of their matriculated students).”
Zack Love, Sex in the Title: A Comedy about Dating, Sex, and Romance in NYC

“Fall in love with someone’s spirit and character, first, and watch how attractive they become.”
Charles F. Glassman, Brain Drain - The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life

Kathleen Turner
“Appearing nude on film was not easy when I was twenty-six in Body Heat; it was even harder when I was forty-six in The Graduate, on the stage, which is more up close and personal than film. After my middle-age nude scene, though, I unexpectedly got letters from women saying, "I have not undressed in front of my husband in ten years and I'm going to tonight." Or, "I have not looked in the mirror at my body and you gave me permission."
These affirmations from other women were especially touching to me because when I began The Graduate I'd just come through a period when I felt a great loss of confidence, when my rheumatoid arthritis hit me hard and I literally couldn't walk or do any of the things that I was so used to doing. It used to be that if I said to my body, "Leap across the room now," it would leap instantly. I don't know how I did it, but I did it. I hadn't realized how much my confidence was based on my physicality. On my ability to make my body do whatever I wanted it to do.
I was so consumed, not just by thinking about what I could and couldn't do, but also by handling the pain, the continual, chronic pain. I didn't realize how pain colored my whole world and how depressive it was. Before I was finally able to control my RA with proper medications, I truly had thought that my attractiveness and my ability to be attractive to men was gone, was lost. So for me to come back and do The Graduate was an affirmation to myself. I had my body back. I was back.”

Terri Osburn
“Come on, she’s gorgeous. Guys in Richmond would be drooling right now.”

Joe’s brows shot up, and he turned as if expecting to see someone new behind him. “Sid?”

“You’d have to be a eunuch not to see that.”

Joe looked insulted by that insinuation.

“You know what I mean. Who is she anyway?”

“She’s my boat mechanic. A pain in the ass, but she can fix anything you put in front of her.”

Beth couldn’t respond. She’d need to lift her jaw off the floor to do that.

“What?” Joe asked, looking perplexed again.

“That is your boat mechanic? You work with a woman Hugh Hefner would pay a million bucks for, yet you claim not to notice she’s the slightest bit attractive?” Beth pulled the tray to her now inferior-feeling chest and wrapped her arms around it. “Is that why you’re so cranky all the time?”

Joe’s mouth clamped shut and his eyes narrowed. “You’re out of your mind. Sid isn’t…” He trailed off as he looked again to the woman in question and got a straight shot of a well-shaped bottom. “You’re nuts,” he said, stomping out of the room. Before Beth could follow behind him, he leaned back in to yell, “And I’m not cranky!”

Soroosh Shahrivar
“That word, confidence, was like butter on a hot stove for Darien, what he considered the most attractive quality in a woman.”
Soroosh Shahrivar, The Rise of Shams

Elizabeth Gaskell
“Jemima was not pretty, the flatness and shortness of her face made her almost plain; yet most people looked twice at her expressive countenance, at the eyes which flamed or melted at every trifle, at the rich colour which came at every expressed emotion into her usually sallow face, at the faultless teeth which made her smile like a sunbeam.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, Ruth

Ian McEwan
“These clever, amoral, inventive, destructive men, single-minded, selfish, emotionally cool, coolly attractive. I think I preferred them to the love of Jesus. They were so necessary, and not only to me. Without them we would still be living in mud huts, waiting to invent the wheel.”
Ian McEwan, Sweet Tooth

“Having money will make you look enticing to women even if you are not a good-looking dude. Don’t believe me, go ask Mick Jagger, Donald Trump, Jay-Z and the rest of the fugly men who have all the money and get all the fine women.”
Rebecca Scott

Libba Bray

Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty

“A person’s irregular surfaces are what make us interesting.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Mary Jane Hathaway
“But, for me, being attractive is about more than just what a man's been blessed with. I like that Gideon doesn't know he's the handsomest man in town. Once, when we were on our way to the Finnemore house, a girl almost walked into a post because she wasn't paying attention. But Gideon had no idea.”
Mary Jane Hathaway, These Sheltering Walls

“Some say "fear even helps like; The flight or over love reaction but to me it is your loving heart to prove to prove it worthy.”
Oscar Auliq-Ice

“We were created with great beauty. We must strive to look our best at all times. It's a gift we give to others.”
R.J. Francis, The Orphan's Secret

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
“She was tall and well-made, on an ample scale; her skin looked as if it had the flavour of fresh cream which it resembled, her childlike mouth that of strawberries. Under a mass of raven hair, curling in gentle waves, her green eyes gleamed motionless as those of statues, and like them a little cruel. She was moving slowly, making her wide white skirt rotate around her, and emanating from her whole person the invincible calm of a woman sure of her own beauty.”
Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Leopard

Catherine Lowell
“Focused men are painfully attractive.”
