Why are redheads revered throughout history? Why are they ridiculed on the schoolyard yet considered one of the grandest catches by adults? Are they more passionate in bed? More outgoing? Who knows, but the attraction is there. Here are a few quotes to shed some light on this attraction 
"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead."
Lucille Ball
"Nobody who has known a redhead can say that redheads are tame. Even shy redheads have a burning spark of adventure inside them. Opinionated, hotheaded, logical, loyal, friendly, reserved, whatever the redheads' personality, you can bet they'll have SCADS of it!"
-Review of The Redhead Encyclopedia
"All throughout history, from Reuben to Robbins, redheads have been recognized as a rare breed. Blondes may have more fun, brunettes may be brainier, but when it comes down to raw energy, creativity, and personality ... you just can't beat a redhead well, you can, but beware ... she'll probably beat you back!"
-Redheads Unlimited
Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And eat men like air.
-Sylvia Plath
"While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats."
-Mark Twain
"You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair," said Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is."
-Anne to Marilla in Anne of Green Gables
