A few famous quotes by Mae West

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.

It's better to be looked over than overlooked.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

Men are all alike - except the one you've met who's different.

Sex is an emotion in motion.

There are no good girls gone wrong - just bad girls found out.

To err is human - but it feels divine.

When I'm good, I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.
