• We are suffocated by writers who want to enlighten us with their truths. For me, the theatre is beautiful because it is a secret, and secrets seduce us, we all want to share secrets.

• Novels do not force their fair readers to sin, they only instruct them how to sin; the consequences of which are fully detailed, and not in a way calculated to seduce any but weak but weak minds; few of their heroines are happily disposed of.

  Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann

• There comes a moment during which almost every girl or boy falls into melancholy; they are tormented by a vague inquietude which rests on everything and finds nothing to calm it. They seek solitude; they weep; the silence to be found in cloister attracts them: the image of peace that seems to reign in religious houses seduces them. They mistake the first manifestations of a developing sexual nature for the voice of God calling them to Himself; and it is precisely when nature is inciting them that they embrace a fashion of life contrary to nature's wish.

  Denis Diderot

• There's nothing wrong with a plan, but remember Von Moltke's famous dictum that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. The danger is a plan that seduces us into thinking failure is impossible and adaptation is unnecessary - a kind of ‘Titanic' plan, unsinkable (until it hits the iceberg).

• En cierto modo, todos los escritores escriben contra la muerte, porque escribir es un intento de desafiar el paso del tiempo, de negarse a dejar que el pasado desaparezca y se olvide, y de negarse a dejar que el presente se convierta en pasado, de intentar seguir viviendo un día más, de intentar abrirse camino en la vida hablando o seduciendo.

• Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.

• I don't know if power seduces less or more. I think power is a constant evolving mechanism that, since the dawn of time, on one level corrupts and on another level does not. But I think, no matter what, mutates.

• Si quieres "ponerte en contacto con tus sentimientos", bien, habla contigo mismo. Todos lo hacemos. Pero si quieres comunicarte con otro ser humano pensante, ponte en contacto con tus pensamientos. Ordénalos, dales un propósito, úsalos para persuadir, instruir, descubrir, seducir. La forma secreta de hacerlo es escribirlo, y luego recortar las partes confusas.

  William Safire

  Escribir, cortar, pensar

• En la guerra, también, el poder discrecional del Ejecutivo se extiende; su influencia en el reparto de cargos, honores y emolumentos se multiplica; y todos los significados de seducir las mentes, se añaden a los de someter la fuerza del pueblo. El mismo aspecto maligno en el republicanismo puede ser rastreado en la desigualdad de fortunas, y las oportunidades de fraude, que surgen de un estado de guerra, y en la degeneración de las costumbres y la moral, engendrada por ambos. Ninguna nación podría preservar su libertad en medio de una guerra continua.

• My objection to the church isn't that the preachers are cruel, hypocritical, actually wicked, though some of them are that, too - think of how many are arrested for selling fake stock, for seducing 14-year-old girls in orphanages under their care, for arson, for murder. An it isn't so much that the church is in bondage to Big Business and doctrines as laid down by millionaires - though a lot of churches are that, too. My chief objection is that 99% of sermons and Sunday School teachings are so agonizingly dull.

  Sinclair Lewis

• Cuando haces un libro o una película, es casi como ligar con alguien. No es porque quieras seducir a la gente por lo que vas a seducirla; puedes ligar con alguien y que no funcione. Pero cuando ligas y funciona, entonces es genial.

• A piece of literature can be many things but first of all it must capture its audience. You need to seduce people, entice them into a world of beauty and horror, light and shadow, of passion, of romance, of mystery. That's the magic of it. Beyond that, of course, you can open a dialogue about the ideas which interest you, but first of all you absolutely must get inside people's minds.

  Carlos Ruiz Zafón

• I like comedy, but I like comedy as a device in drama. It's more interesting for me to use comedy to seduce people into thinking about something serious. If you want to hit a beat in a drama, you can distract people with a little comedy, and you can punch them in the gut with some emotion.
