Quotes By Person: Colette, as quoted by Dolores Klaich in Woman Plus Woman

“I was by chance spared the sight of Renée dying, then dead. She carried off with her more than one secret, and beneath her purple veil, Renée Vivien, the poet, led away--her throat encircled with moonstones, beryls, aquamarines, and other anemic gems--the immodest child, the excited little girl who taught me, with unembarrassed competence: 'There are fewer ways of making love than they say, and more than one believes.'”

-Colette, as quoted by Dolores Klaich in Woman Plus Woman
