Famous Quotes & Sayings

Jean-Luc Godard

When sex gets problematic, the totalitarianist walks in.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their ownideal, to express it more agreeably). Thus man wants woman to be peaceable--but woman is essentially, like the cat, not peaceable, however well she may have trained herself to assume the appearance of peace.

George Burns

Sex is the Universal Language in which nobody speaks; they don't have to.

George Burns

There will always be a battle between the sexes because men and women want different things. Men want women and women want men.

Sex after 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope. Even putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.

George Burns

Let me get one thing straight; I'm not an authority on sex, I'm more of a fan. I think sex is nice; no family should be without it. Of course, there are other things that are just as important as sex, like uh . . . like uh . . . like . . . uh . . . well, I'll think of it later.

George Bernard Shaw

The sex relation is not a personal relation. It can be irresistibly desired and rapturously consummated between persons who could not endure one another for a day in any other relation.

George Bernard Shaw

When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.

George Bernard Shaw

The theory that music has a depraving effect on morals has now been abandoned to the old women of both sexes.

George Bernard Shaw

We throw the whole drudgery of creation on one sex, and then imply that no female of any delicacy would initiate any effort in that direction.

George Bernard Shaw

We are not taught to think decently on sex subjects, and consequently we have no language for them except indecent language.

George Bernard Shaw

The sex illusion is not a fixed quantity: not what mathematicians call a constant. It varies from zero in my wife's case to madness in that of our stepsister.

George Bernard Shaw

We all have--to put it as nicely as I can--our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terriblepower that sometimes destroys us; but they don't talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before--truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.

George Bernard Shaw

A pornographic novelist is one who exploits the sexual instinct as a prostitute does. A legitimate sex novel elucidates it or brings out its poetry, tragedy, or comedy.

George Bernard Shaw

Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!

Gemma Arterton

There is one scene where he is kissing up my back. It is really sexy and I didn't know he was going to do it. He started doing it and in the film you see me saying, whew, and that wasn't acting, that was really me thinking, whew, oh my goodness Daniel Craig is kissing my back! I really did. I had to stop and remind myself that I was playing a character and I was acting in a film.

Gena Showalter

Anya made you kiss her? Yeah. And at our next stop, I'll expect you to deliver. I'll pay, William piped up. After you describe everything about that kiss you two shared. Did you cop a feel? You did, didn't you, you little hussy. I bet you moaned a lot, too. Too late for you to pay, she said in a sing song voice. Strider already offered, and I already accepted. And no, I won't do any describing. You can just imagine how sexy it was. Oh, and Willie. Just so you know, your imagination won't do it justice.

Gena Showalter

I'm William, but you can call me Sexy. Everyone does.

Erica Durance

People think that if you're sexy you have no brains, and if you have brains you aren't in touch with your sexual side. I'm trying to tell people, 'You can have it both ways.'

Erica Durance

I have an oddball sense of humor. So when there was an episode at a comic book convention-of course they end up having Lois dress up all sexy and stuff-but really what I would dress up like is a Stormtrooper.

Sex just as a drive, as a hormonal drive, is not very interesting.

Erica Jong

We all have fantasies about sex that are more perfect than anything in reality.
