Quote context

[...]

- And here's what seems to me so marvelous. For a few pennies, literally, I get a beautifully-made, subtly-perfumed complexion soap that I like better than the very expensive one.

- Why don't you tell women what a bargain Lux Soap is?

- It is interesting to realize that, for a few pennies, any woman can buy the very same soap that the lovely screen stars use - nine out of ten of them - to help keep their complexions lovely.

- I'm sure I don't need to remind the women in our audience that taking care of your complexion, making the most of your looks, pays rich dividends...

- And the admiration and love of those around you, and in bringing you romance and keeping it.

- No woman ever quite outgrows the longing for romance, the need for it.

- No woman ever grows tired of hearing the lovely things that loveliness makes people say. p

- There's a song, you may remember, that says the kind of things I mean exceptionally well.

- If there is someone lovelier than you, then I am blind, a man without a mind, if there is someone lovelier than you.

- But no, I am not blind, my eyes have traveled everywhere in hope that I might find a creature half so fair.

- If there is someone lovelier than you, by all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true.
