If always liked quotes from Heinlein's book Time Enough For Love when it comes to women:

"Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman’s breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy."

"Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires. "

And, of course, the very best providers have learned the following:

"A man does not insist on physical beauty in a woman who builds up his morale. After a while he realizes that she is beautiful--he just hadn’t noticed it at first. "


However, my most favorite and true quote:


"There's only two things in this world that I'm scared of.......and BOTH of 'em's a good woman."

“To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock.”
