Rudolph Valentino quotes about
To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse.

What is your motto Mr. Valentino? Live and Let Live.

To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize in them is infinitely worse.

A man should control his life. Mine is controlling me.
I really believe i was happier when i slept on a park bench in Central Park than during all the years of the 'perfect lover' stuff.''
