“Sex is a different medium, refracting time and sense, a biological hyperspace as remote from conscious existence as dreams, or as water is from air”

Ian McEwan
From his novel Saturday

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.

Carl Jung

Intelligence is enormously sexy.

Frank Langella 

Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken.

Simone de Beauvoir

“It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It insures his existence.”

Jim Morrison

I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.

William Butler Yeats

“It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.”

Paul Strand

I am sure no other civilization, not even the Romans, has showed such a vast proportion of ignominious and degraded nudity, and ugly, squalid dirty sex. Because no other civilization has driven sex into the underworld, and nudity to the W.C.

 D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin – it’s the triumphant twang of a bedspring.

S.J. Perelman
