• Here 's to the maiden of bashful fifteen; Here 's to the widow of fifty; Here 's to the flaunting, extravagant queen, And here 's to the housewife that 's thrifty! Let the toast pass; Drink to the lass; I 'll warrant she 'll prove an excuse for the glass.

• Si te empeñas en ir a contracorriente, haciendo alarde de tus ideas poco convencionales y tu forma de ser poco ortodoxa, la gente pensará que sólo quieres llamar la atención y que los menosprecias, y encontrarán la forma de castigarte por hacerles sentir inferiores. Es mucho más seguro mezclarse y cultivar el toque común. Comparte tu originalidad sólo con amigos tolerantes y con aquellos que seguro que aprecian tu singularidad.

• It’s a sort of furtiveness … Like we were a generation of furtive. You know, with an inner knowledge there’s no use flaunting on that level, the level of the ‘public’, a kind of beatness – I mean, being right down to it, to ourselves, because we all really know where we are – and a weariness with all the forms, all the conventions of the world … It’s something like that. So I guess you might say we’re a beat generation.

  Jack Kerouac

• The conduct and manners of women, in fact, evidently prove that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers which are planted in too rich a soil, strenght state; usefulness are sacrificed to beauty; and the flaunting leaves, after having pleased a fastidious eye, fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity.

• I think the silhouette of the kimono costume will become engraved in people's minds. I do think there'll be lots of red accents in the near future. For me personally, I can't see myself flaunting around in a geisha uniform but it'll make me smile when I see what others do with it.

• Why do women want to dress like men when they're fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I'm very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don't want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error.

  Tasha Tudor

• De puntillas, uno no se mantiene firme. Esforzándose en el paso, uno no puede caminar lejos. Alardeando de los hechos, uno es desfavorablemente notado. Siendo santurrón, uno no es respetado. Alardeando de uno mismo, el mérito de uno no es reconocido. Alabándose a sí mismo, se pierde la oportunidad de la grandeza. Desde el punto de vista de Tao, éstos representan el Te imperfecto, valorado como lo son la suciedad o la enfermedad.

  Laozi

• Me gustan los cuerpos y la forma física, así que soy muy crítica con el aspecto que debe tener un cuerpo a la hora de exhibirlo. Nunca me dejaría caer y rodaría para hacer una foto de un escote; las he visto en películas de Bollywood y son cosas que no tolero. No lo haría. Yo no soy así. Prefiero tener un aspecto elegante y sexy simplemente paseando.

• They trespassed upon my thoughts. They were intruders whose knowledge of life was to me an irritating pretense, because I felt so sure they could not possibly know the things I knew. Their bearing, which was simply the bearing of commonplace individuals going about their business in the assurance of perfect safety, was offensive to me like the outrageous flauntings of folly in the face of a danger it is unable to comprehend. I had no particular desire to enlighten them, but I had some difficulty in restraining myself from laughing in their faces, so full of stupid importance.

• He llegado a gastarme 30.000 dólares en un reloj, pero no se trata de alardear de mi riqueza. No tengo muchas extravagancias, pero los relojes son la mayor. Ahora debo de tener unos 30. Colecciono relojes desde los nueve años, cuando gané un TAG negro en una carrera de karts.

• Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither. We know not what comes next, or what follows after. Thus, the most ordinary movement in the world, such as sitting down at a table and pulling the inkstand towards one, may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting, like the underlinen of a family of fourteen on a line in a gale of wind.
