Voluptuous Quotes - Page 3

• I had often heard Mentor say, that the voluptuous were never brave, and I now found by experience that it was true; for the Cyprians whose jollity had been so extravagant and tumultuous, now sunk under a sense of their danger and wept like women. I heard nothing but the screams of terror and the wailings of hopeless distress. Some lamented the loss of pleasures that were never to return; but none had presence of mind either to undertake or direct the navigation of the menaced vessel.

  François Fenelon

  Loss, Presence Of Mind, Brave

"Not enough," I said. I was trying hard to hang on to this conversation. Angelic Sookie, vision of love and beauty, I am prostrate that the wicked evil maenad violated your smooth and voluptuous body, in an attempt to deliver a message to me." That's more like it.

• Hay que ser un artista y un loco, una criatura de infinita melancolía, con una burbuja de veneno caliente en las entrañas y una llama supervoluptuosa permanentemente encendida en la sutil columna vertebral (¡oh, cómo hay que encogerse y esconderse!), para discernir en seguida, por signos inefables -el contorno ligeramente felino de un pómulo, la esbeltez de unos miembros velludos y otros índices que la desesperación y la vergüenza y las lágrimas de ternura me prohíben tabular-, al pequeño demonio mortal entre los niños sanos; permanece irreconocible para ellos e inconsciente ella misma de su fantástico poder.

• The fable runs that the gods mix our pains and pleasure in one cup, and thus mingle for us the adulterate immortality which we alone are permitted here to enjoy. Voluptuous raptures, could we prolong these at pleasure, would dissipate and dissolve us. A sip is the most that mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.

• Among all the modernized aspects of the most luxurious of industries, the model, a vestige of voluptuous barbarianism, is like some plunder-laden prey. She is the object of unbridled regard, a living bait, the passive realization of an ideal. No other female occupation contains such potent impulses to moral disintegration as this one, applying as it does the outward signs of riches to a poor and beautiful girl.

  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

• You could say one wine is like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz while another is like the mature Judy Garland, or that a big voluptuous chardonnay is like Marilyn Monroe -round, bosomy - you can remember that chardonnay, If you say a wine is snappy and lively, like Robin Williams, that's very different than the Anthony Hopkins of wine - urbane, sophisticated, measured, considered.
