After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.

The reason why Englishmen are the best husbands in the world is because they want to be faithful. A Frenchman or an Italian will wake up in the morning and wonder what girl he will meet. An Englishman wakes up and wonders what the cricket score is.

People don't roll around naked in my books. I do allow them to go to bed if they're married, but it's all very wonderful and the moon beams.

My heroines are always virgins. They never go to bed without a ring on their fingers; not until page 118 at least.

I consider myself an expert on love, sex and health. Without health you can have very little of the other two.

I would love to employ a man, but how can I possibly give a man dictation from the bath?

When you get past fifty, you have to decide whether to keep your face or your figure. I kept my face.
