Barbara Cartland Quotations

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

To sleep around is absolutely wrong for a woman; it's degrading and it completely ruins her personality. Sooner or later it will destroy all that is feminine and beautiful and idealistic in her.

Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don't pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother that "nice girls don't." He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue-but only in a certain section of society.

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.

As long as the plots keep arriving from outer space, I'll go on with my virgins.

Love is next to Godliness with certain safeguards.

Good must triumph over evil. It usually does in life and in any case it's bad for young people to believe it doesn't.

People don't roll around naked in my books. I do allow them to go to bed if they're married, but it's all very wonderful and the moon beams.

You become what you think. You are what you eat.
