Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without ever having asked a clear question.
All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.
CYRIL CONNOLLY, Enemies of Promise
Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them.
LOGAN PEARSALL SMITH, "Other People," Afterthoughts
Charm: the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves.
HENRI-FRÉDÉRIC AMIEL, Journal intime, 1883
Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
HAVELOCK ELLIS, as quoted in the Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.
SARAH BERNHARDT, The Art of the Theatre
Charm was a scheme for making strangers like and trust a person immediately, no matter what the charmer had in mind.
KURT VONNEGUT, Breakfast of Champions
All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.
OSCAR WILDE, The Portrait of Mr. W.H.
