Charm Quote by Martial
“Rarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized; and coyness sets off an extravagant mistress, while the door always open tempts no suitor.”
About This Quote
Rarity is valued, especially early fruits and winter roses, while coyness can attract an extravagant lover, yet an always open door does not guarantee suitors.
In simple terms: Rare things are prized; coyness can attract, but openness alone doesn’t bring partners.
Value rarity and subtlety.
