Lace Quotations
I think I've still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I'm not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!
Helena Bonham Carter
He greatly valued his possessions, chiefly because they were his, and derived genuine pleasure from contemplating a painting, a statuette, a rare lace curtain - no matter what - after he had bought it and placed it among his household gods.
Kate Chopin
My most recent purchase was a black lace corset.
Lexa Doig

Latrell Sprewell

Andrew Vachss
It is difficult to see why lace should be so expensive; it is mostly holes.
Mary Wilson Little
Shut up and lace up.
L. M. Heroux
