What is Your Advice
“You
are enough to drive a saint to madness or a king to his knees.”
―
Grace Willows, To Kiss a King
“To
see and feel one's beloved naked for the first time is one of life's pure,
irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must
include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one
true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being
a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness,
idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make
love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.”

Dan Simmons, The Rise of Endymion
“What
is your advice to young writers?”
“Drink,
fuck and smoke plenty of cigarettes.”
―
Charles Bukowski, Hot Water Music
“I
wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love
was irrelevant. What I sought was the sense of being tossed about by some
raging, savage force, in the midst of which lay something absolutely crucial. I
had no idea what that was. But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body
and touch it, whatever it was.”

Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun
“I
never understood why anyone would have sex on the floor. Until I was with you
and I realized: you don't ever realize you're on the floor.”
―
David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary
“You
can't talk about fucking in America, people say you're dirty. But if you talk
about killing somebody, that's cool.”
―
Richard Pryor
“Man...heats
up like a lightbulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a
flash. The female, on the other hand...heats up like an iron. Slowly, over a
low heat, like tasty stew. But then, once she has heated up, there's no
stopping her.”

Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
“Making
love to me is amazing. Wait, I meant: making love, to me, is amazing. The
absence of two little commas nearly transformed me into a sex god.
”

Dark Jar Tin Zoo, Love Quotes for the Ages. Specifically Ages 19-91.
“Please,
touch me, I pray.”

Jess C Scott, The Intern
“The
villains were always ugly in books and movies. Necessarily so, it seemed.
Because if they were attractive—if their looks matched their charm and their
cunning—they wouldn't only be dangerous.
They
would be irresistible.”
―
Nenia Campbell, Horrorscape
“Hugh
and I have been together for so long that in order to arouse extraordinary
passion, we need to engage in physical combat. Once, he hit me on the back of
the head with a broken wineglass, and I fell to the floor pretending to be
unconscious. That was romantic, or would have been had he rushed to my side
rather than stepping over my body to fetch the dustpan.”
―
David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
“Maybe
you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless
foreplay.”
―
Jess C Scott, EyeLeash: A Blog Novel
“You
know that look that women get when they want to have sex? Me neither.”
―
Steve Martin
“I
automatically assume people won't like me, so I don't talk to them unless they
approach me first. I can't become a part of a crowd because I can't get past
that feeling that I don't belong.”
―
Stephanie Kuehnert, Ballads of Suburbia
“We
have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for
masturbation.”
―
Lily Tomlin
“I
want you to spend the night,” you said. And it was definitely your phrasing
that ensured it. If you had said, “Let’s have sex,” or “Let’s go to my place,”
or even “I really want you,” I’m not sure we would have gone quite as far as we
did. But I loved the notion that the night was mine to spend, and I immediately
decided to spend it with you.”
―
David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary
“So
sweet and delicious do I become,
when
I am in bed with a man
who,
I sense, loves and enjoys me,
that
the pleasure I bring excels all delight,
so
the knot of love, however tight
it
seemed before, is tied tighter still.”
―
Veronica Franco, Poems and Selected Letters
“We
cannot have a world where everyone is a victim. "I'm this way because my
father made me this way. I'm this way because my husband made me this
way." Yes, we are indeed formed by traumas that happen to us. But then you
must take charge, you must take over, you are responsible.”
―
Camille Paglia
“I
recall certain moments, let us call them icebergs in paradise, when after
having had my fill of her –after fabulous, insane exertions that left me limp
and azure-barred–I would gather her in my arms with, at last, a mute moan of
human tenderness (her skin glistening in the neon light coming from the paved
court through the slits in the blind, her soot-black lashes matted, her grave
gray eyes more vacant than ever–for all the world a little patient still in the
confusion of a drug after a major operation)–and the tenderness would deepen to
shame and despair, and I would lull and rock my lone light Lolita in my marble
arms, and moan in her warm hair, and caress her at random and mutely ask her
blessing, and at the peak of this human agonized selfless tenderness (with my
soul actually hanging around her naked body and ready to repent), all at once,
ironically, horribly, lust would swell again–and 'oh, no,' Lolita would say
with a sigh to heaven, and the next moment the tenderness and the azure–all
would be shattered.”
―
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
“Gentlemen
are gentlemen in bed. They make sure you're having a good time."
"I'll
make sure you're having a good time, and that you're okay with everything. I
just won't be well mannered about it.”

Samantha Young, On Dublin Street
