Seduction
Quotes - Seduction is an art that is tested in the mirror
“How
grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes
were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.
"That
kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to
keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just
because I owe you."
"I
don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he
said, equally gently.”

“The
grandest seduction of all is the myth that DOING EVERYTHING BETTER gets us
where we want to be. It gets us somewhere, certainly, but not anywhere worth
being.”

Way
“I
wish I could line up naked the men I've slept with and just gloat for a hot
minute. Beautiful creatures.”

“The
angel destroyed me! He seduced me with a pure voice, spoke kind words, and
stroked my hair to lower my guard, to make me trust him, to trick me! He
sullied my body, my voice, my heart; remade me as a terrifying monster; turned
me into his companion! The angel was a disfigured phantom wearing a mask!”

Mizuki Nomura, Book Girl and the Corrupted Angel (light novel) (Volume 4)
“He
was, like everyone of a strongly erotic disposition, twice as good, twice as
much himself when he knew that women liked him, just as many actors find their
most ardent vein when they sense that they have cast their spell over the
audience, the breathing mass of spectators before them.”

Stefan Zweig, The Burning Secret and other stories
“Sex
was a practiced art to him. Each move calculated. His brain always worked while
he performed, his body seducing his prey with ease, noting each response of his
target. But in one moment, everything had changed. She swept him into a tidal
wave of pure sensation, and he willingly let go and let her take him with her.”

Christine Feehan, Water Bound
“Kiss
me hot, heavy, wet & angry with that attitude like you do when your mouth
yells it hates me but your tongue screams it can’t wait for me. Hug me, touch
me, submit to me with that insatiable passion like you do when you thought you
could leave but the sight of my throbbing rock hard love muscle made you too
weak in the knees. Your mind is melting fast, your soul is whispering trust,
your eyes are begging please and your anger has turned to lust. Let me undress
your body, caress your skin and wetly massage your mind back into making love
to me again. I’d rather say I’m sorry and keep my best friend than have this
come to an end. Be encouraged but more importantly…be lethal with your make up
love.”

“All
war is based in deception (cfr. Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”).
Definition
of deception: “The practice of deliberately making somebody believe things that
are not true. An act, a trick or device entended to deceive somebody”.
Thus,
all war is based in metaphor.
All
war necessarily perfects itself in poetry.
Poetry
(since indefinable) is the sense of seduction.
Therefore,
all war is the storytelling of seduction, and seduction is the nature of war.”

“Make
him love you,” Ruthless Me whispered. “Make it so he can’t live without you.
The devil you know.” I felt her growing inside me, bringing with her the insane
idea that I actually wielded power with Caleb.”

C.J. Roberts, Captive in the Dark
“The
mask of art is the means through which corruption is spread. The mask makes
vice seem beautiful, turns squalor and nastiness into glamorous thrill, seduces
the onlooker into the game – and leaves him or her with the corpse on his
hands.”

“When
a woman has not received much flattery in her life, she will be seduced.”

Melina Marchetta, Froi of the Exiles
“How
blest am I in this discovering thee!
To
enter in these bonds is to be free;
Then
where my hand is set, my seal shall be.
Full
nakedness! All joys are due to thee,
As
souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be”

“Saints
and Sinners may be separated by their actions, but they are united by their
reaction to passion.”

“I
took her to bed with silk and song
'Lay
still, my love, I won’t be long,
I
must prepare my body for passion.'
'O,
your body you give, but all else you ration...”

“Smiling,
Vixen sat up and kneeled at the edge of the mattress. “Mmmm… I missed you.” She
said, and grabbed me by the waist band, and pulled me on top of her.”

“...The
fact that it's black transforms it. Has the same effect on women that black
stockings have on men.”

Daphne du Maurier
“Adam
leaned down and placed his lips next to her ear. He blew gently on it before he
spoke. Mona leaned even closer into him as she listened intently to his words.
"Desdemona."
She
moaned at the sound of her name on his lips.
"I
need to tell you something." His words were accompanied by warm air
caressing her skin.
"Before
my time is done, I will watch the light fade from your eyes as you are sent to
the hell you so deserve." Though his words promised destruction, the
cadence of his voice still held her in a seductive rapture.”

Quinn Loftis, Beyond the Veil
“Horror
immobolizes us because it is made of contradictory feelings: fear and
seduction, repulsion and attraction. Horror is a fascination...Horror is
immobility, the great yawn of empty space, the womb and the hole in the earth,
the universal Mother and the great garbage heap...With horror we cannot have
recourse to flight or combat, there remains only Adoration or Exorcism.”
―
Octavio Paz
“Whatever
may have been said of the satiety of pleasure and of the disgust which usually
follows passion, any man who has anything of a heart and who is not wretchedly
and hopelessly blasé feels his love increased by his happiness, and very often
the best way to retain a lover ready to leave is to give one's self up to him
without reserve.”
―
Théophile Gautier, Mademoiselle de Maupin
“And
I, a vampire who had seduced countless mortals in his impossibly long
existence, was forced to admit that it was she, this beautiful young human
female, who had instead seduced me.”
