Attract Quote by Amber Kizer
““Smoked sausage and a jolly tupping. Ale and folly. Fickle bosoms and bar fights. That is the sum of experiences my souls gathered from their lives. Why do I attract all the unsophisticated fancy men? For once could one love the opera and his mother? —Lucinda Myer, b. 1702-d. 1808””
