Seduction
Quotes - Everything you do seduces me
“Yet
if women are so flighty, fickle, changeable, susceptible, and inconstant (as
some clerks would have us believe), why is it that their suitors have to resort
to such trickery to have their way with them? And why don't women quickly
succumb to them, without the need for all this skill and ingenuity in
conquering them? For there is no need to go to war for a castle that is already
captured. (...)
Therefore,
since it is necessary to call on such skill, ingenuity, and effort in order to
seduce a woman, whether of high or humble birth, the logical conclusion to draw
is that women are by no means as fickle as some men claim, or as easily
influenced in their behaviour. And if anyone tells me that books are full of
women like these, it is this very reply, frequently given, which causes me to
complain. My response is that women did not write these books nor include the
material which attacks them and their morals. Those who plead their cause in
the absence of an opponent can invent to their heart's content, can pontificate
without taking into account the opposite point of view and keep the best
arguments for themselves, for aggressors are always quick to attack those who
have no means of defence. But if women had written these books, I know full
well the subject would have been handled differently. They know that they stand
wrongfully accused, and that the cake has not been divided up equally, for the
strongest take the lion's share, and the one who does the sharing out keeps the
biggest portion for himself.”

Love
“When
I met a truly beautiful girl, I would tell her that if she spent the night with
me, I would write a novel or a story about her. This usually worked; and if her
name was to be in the title of the story, it almost always worked. Then, later,
when we'd passed a night of delicious love-making together, after she’d gone
and I’d felt that feeling of happiness mixed with sorrow, I sometimes would
write a book or story about her. Sometimes her character, her way about
herself, her love-making, it sometimes marked me so heavily that I couldn't go
on in life and be happy unless I wrote a book or a story about that woman, the
happy and sad memory of that woman. That was the only way to keep her, and to
say goodbye to her without her ever leaving.”

“We
dance to seduce ourselves. To fall in love with ourselves. When we dance with
another, we manifest the very thing we love about ourselves so that they may
see it and love us too.”

“Does
a rake deserve to possess anything of worth, since he chases everything in
skirts and then imagines he can successfully hide his shame by slandering
[women in general]?”

“O
Rose, thou art sick.
The
invisible worm
That
flies in the night
In
the howling storm
Has
found out thy bed
Of
crimson joy,
And
his dark secret love
Does
thy life destroy.”

you do seduces me. All you need to do is breathe and I would do anything for
you.”

“A
man grows bored with a woman, no matter how beautiful; he yearns for different
pleasures, and for adventure.”

“A
monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the
glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen
and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of
knowledge is for monks.”

Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
“What
well-bred woman would refuse her heart to a man who had just saved her life?
Not one; and gratitude is a short cut which speedily leads to love.”

Théophile Gautier, Mademoiselle de Maupin
“It
was the wildness of it that got me going: the primal lust, the sheer needs of
two people in heat, quickly finding ways to express their sacred hunger to each
other in animal passion.”

“The
key to such power is ambiguity. In a society where the roles everyone plays are
obvious, the refusal to conform to any standard will excite interest. Be both
masculine and feminine, impudent and charming, subtle and outrageous. Let other
people worry about being socially acceptable; those types are a dime a dozen,
and you are after a power greater than they can imagine.”

“I
want no blood from you--not until we're both sweaty and naked and you're
screaming my name.”

Nalini Singh, Angels' Pawn
“Mastering
the art of seduction gives one a great power, and like any power, it's to be
wielded with responsibility; a man who wields the art of seduction without a
sense of responsibility and restraint is a walking proximity bomb of viral epidemics,
needless procreation, heartbroken families, and shattered dreams.”

“I
once knew of a girl whose story forms the substance of the diary. Whether he
has seduced others I do not know... we learn of his desire for something
altogether arbitrary. With the help of his mental gifts he knew how to tempt a
girl to draw her to him without caring to possess her in any stricter sense.
I
can imagine him able to bring a girl to the point where he was sure she would
sacrifice all then he would leave without a word let a lone a declaration a
promise.
The
unhappy girl would retain the consciousness of it with double bitterness
because there was not the slightest thing she could appeal to. She could only
be constantly tossed about in a terrible witches' dance at one moment
reproaching herself forgiving him at another reproaching him and then since the
relationship would only have been actual in a figurative sense she would
constantly have to contend with the doubt that the whole thing might only have
been an imagination.”
