Quotables 6 July 2024: Sophia Loren on her ‘peculiar yardstick for measuring a man’


I have my own peculiar yardstick for measuring a man: does he have the courage to cry in a moment of grief? Does he have the compassion not to hunt an animal? In his relationship with a woman, is he gentle? Real manliness is nurtured in kindness and gentleness, which I associate with intelligence, comprehension, tolerance, justice, education, and high morality. If only men realized how easy it is to open a woman's heart with kindness, and how many women close their hearts to the assaults of the Don Juans’.

Photo: Captured by Michael Donovan, circa 1955: Sophia Loren strikes a pose to captivate the very soul, seated upon the deck of a vessel, the vast expanse of the ocean glistening around her. She is wearing a floral-patterned summer gown, its bodice embracing her curves with grace, while the skirt billows forth in a cascade of blooms. A necklace of fiery rubies adorns her neck, mirrored in the crimson jewels that dance in her ears. Her hair is a masterpiece of bygone days, and a confident expression reigns upon her visage.
