Sex without love is a cancerous cigarette we willingly smoke.

Erica Jong

I can live without it all - love with its blood pump, sex with its messy hungers, men with their peacock strutting, their silly sexual baggage, their wet tongues in my ear.

Erica Jong

Sex has the unparalleled power to make us absurd to ourselves. It also has the power to make us understand transcendence.

Erica Jong

Without sex it would be so easy to choose appropriate people to live with. Sex was the joker in an otherwise rational deck.

Erica Jong

Beware of books. They are more than innocent assemblages of paper and ink and string and glue. If they are any good, they have the spirit of the author within. Authors are rogues and ruffians and easy lays. They are gluttons for sweets and savories. They devour life and always want more. They have sap, spirit, sex. Books are panderers. The Jews are not wrong to worship books. A real book has pheromones and sprouts grass through its cover.
