Business Quote by Enid Bagnold
““There is nothing so difficult to remember as sexual love. How often, where, and what happened? It all goes, it has all gone, leaving no impression, mattering so much less than we like to think. (…) What we have had we have had, and, pleased, we pass along. (But what we haven't had may well be a ticklish business!)””
