CHARM
"Charm is Noel Coward, entering a party wearing an ordinary suit, discovering every other man in the room dressed in white tie and tails, and blithely announcing, 'Please, I don't want anyone to apologize for overdressing.'"
I'm a bookseller and a used books buyer of more than 30 years experience and a lifelong bibliophile. I've been married in all but legality to my husband Allen for more than 35 years.
This quote is fabulous. I'm definitely going to put it to use sometime. =)
