Famous Quotes | A lover, when he is admitted to...

A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress. - Henry Fielding Attribution: Henry Fielding (1707–1754), British novelist, dramatist. Lady Matchless, in Love in Several Masques, act 2, sc. 11.
