Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out

The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.

I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.

Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass,
Be not afraid of my body.

A nation that has no bridle on its sensuality, can never thrive our survive.

If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh.
