Letty Fox Quotes

“I shall never be a dangerous woman; I can make men love, but I cannot make them suffer. It would be much better the other way about.

In the end they did better than I, for it is strange what people will do to be able to suffer and say to themselves, in the night, “I have suffered, I have lived indeed.”

“Tell Papa I'm a communist, but a bad communist. I use a lipstick made by a Russian noble, Prince Matchabelli. (It sounds Italian though.).”
