Quotes by Barbara Cartland

A historical romance is the only kind of book where chastity really counts.

A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.

A woman should say: Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman? If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.

The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.

The right diet directs sexual energy into the parts that matter.
