In love we do not think of moral qualities, and scarcely of intellectual ones. Temperament and manner alone, with beauty, excite love.

After all, it's woman, who decide, if a man is desirable or undesirable.

She was obsessed with clothes and status, how she never gave a thought to being responsible for her own actions, or even what she might do for anyone else-making her the ultimate example of all that was wrong and misguided about young women today.

Why do magazine do this to women? Miranda complains now, glaring at Vogue. It's all about creating insecurity. Trying to make women feel like they're not good enough.
