Susie Bright, sexpert:

"Take sexual inspiration from everyone and sexual instruction from no one."

and

"Behind every erotic condemnation there's a burning hypocrite."

and

"There are people who will judge your sexual expression. You won’t always understand what makes them tick— and believe me, they don’t either. Perhaps they are elitists or opportunists, zealots or bigots. Whatever their motives— when they decide to go after sex, they come at you with a stick."

Passion
"It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion."
-Rebecca West (1985)

Something within us helps us to find our passions. It's not like a conscious choice, like looking through a catalog and picking a hobby or something. We are drawn to things that we feel passionate about. We can't help but move towards things that give us that drive, that energy, that life force that is so all-encompassing. We have the desires, and the passions that we have for a reason. And pursuing our passions is one of the most important things we can do while we're living our lives.

Every year that I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence which will risk nothing, and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Ms. Meander · 12-08-2010, 07:13 AM

Perhaps it was an error to think that I could carry such a large soul in my narrow character and mortal body. But if we do not attempt, we shall not enlarge our humanity even by the smallest whit.

Julia Alvarez - Saving The World

Tucker · 12-08-2010, 09:17 AM

I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality. The touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh God, as a woman I want to be dominated...but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.

PinkieLee · 12-08-2010, 10:05 AM

-Elizabeth Edwards
