Seducing Quotes - Page 6

• Desde que el Imperio del Mal resultó ser una colección de países del tercer mundo, los estadounidenses alineados en la extrema derecha han intentado presentar a los gays y lesbianas como el nuevo enemigo, desviados calculadores que seducen a los jóvenes de la nación, señoras anti-Avon que venden sodomía puerta a puerta. Esto simplemente no funcionará. Del mismo modo que ver a los rusos de cerca y en persona en la televisión los humaniza, ver a la abuela lesbiana de dos niñas pequeñas luciendo su medalla de oro con orgullo hace que la noción de alteridad, y mucho menos de desviación, sea tonta e ignorante.

• The Captains of Industry have always counseled the rest of us "to be realistic." Let us, therefore, be realistic. Is it realistic to assume that the present economy would be just fine if only it would stop poisoning the air and water, or if only it would stop soil erosion, or if only it would stop degrading watersheds and forest ecosystems, or if only it would stop seducing children, or if only it would stop buying politicians, or if only it would give women and favored minorities an equitable share of the loot?

• Of course I know that the twins are only words on a page, and I'm certainly not the sort of writer who talks to his characters or harbours any illusions about the creative process. But at the same time, I think it's juvenile and arrogant when literary writers compulsively remind their readers that the characters aren't real. People know that already. The challenge is to make an intelligent reader suspend disbelief, to seduce them into the reality of a narrative.

• In his student days, he used to argue that if a woman has no other course open to her but starvation, prostitution, or throwing herself from a bridge, then surely the prostitute, who has shown the most tenacious instinct for self-preservation, should be considered stronger and saner than her frailer and no longer living sisters. One couldn't have it both ways, he'd pointed out: if women are seduced and abandoned they're supposed to go mad, but if they survive, and seduce in their turn, then they were mad to begin with.

• I've never created a riot before. I did cause a brawl at the last formal. A large number of young women there actually arrived with the expectation of seducing me into matrimony, and a couple of their mothers came to blows. It was hilari—I mean, dreadful. Simply dreadful.

• You can't really control how people are going to feel about you; all you can really do is be yourself. Because if you seduce somebody, and you seduce them by pretending to be a certain way, once they are seduced they are going to find that you are not that way. And then you have to maintain an image that's not real, so you really screw yourself. The best is to be yourself and hope they like you.

• The visual can seduce you, leading to false deductions, and ultimately, even the finest ideas can be reduced. Take for example, sexuality. If it is reduced down to the moment and to pleasure, things like that, that's not what sexuality is all about. Sexuality was to be in tandem with the sacred, not amputated from it.

• The Nephilim was something I'd known about since I was really young. If you're familiar with the first book of the Bible, Genesis, you see the sons of God seduce some of the women on the earth and they produce a race of people known as the Nephilim. According to legend they taught man about war, astrology, and magic. I'm fascinated by the idea.

• Pues en ese golpe fallas No será alcanzada por la flecha de Cupido. Ella tiene el ingenio de Dian, Y, en fuerte proff de la castidad bien armada, Del débil arco infantil del Amor vive desarmada. No detendrá el asedio de los términos amorosos, Ni aguardará el encuentro de los ojos asaltantes, Ni abrirá su regazo al oro que educa a los santos. Oh, ella es rica en belleza; solo pobre que, cuando muera, muera con ella. Acto 1, Escena 1, líneas 180-197
