More quotes by Hugh Hefner

Image
I have very strong theories about magazine publishing. And I think that it is the most personal form of journalism. And I think that a magazine is an old friend.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I am not primarily an entrepreneurial businessman. I'm primarily a playboy philosopher.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I have been married twice, and those were not the happiest times of my life. Part of the problem, quite frankly, is that when you get married, the romance disappears and the children arrive and the love is transferred. It shouldn't be that way, but too often it is transferred to the children.

The Puritans thought they could simply repress man's sexual nature, and they reaped a whirlwind as a result. Their code of sexual morality - which became America's - was nothing more than a set of rules laid down by people who believed that all pleasure was suspect.

The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.
Hugh Hefner
Image
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.

Image
There are many roads to Mecca.
Hugh Hefner
Image
It is the beauty of women, and the fact that they are the focus, that they are sex objects in a positive sense, is the reason we have civilization.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonde.
Hugh Hefner
Image
In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I've had death threats, but I've never been fearful for my life. Although I have traveled with security since the '60s.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I was raised in a truly typical Midwestern home with a lot of repression. My life, and the creation of Playboy, were a response to that repression.
Hugh Hefner
Image
You really don't create an authoritarian society unless you control the personal choices including the sexual choices of the people.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
Hugh Hefner
Image
If Playboy ever loses its editorial balls, then it will deserve to be knocked over by a younger, more vigorous magazine in the coming generation. But that won't happen so long as I'm alive, I can promise you that.
Hugh Hefner
Image
We're separated by our myths.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Since time immemorial, youth has set the universal standard of physical beauty, and the reason is simply that a shapely firm young face and body are more attractive sexually and aesthetically than bulges, sags and wrinkles.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I tried to make some difference, and I think I managed to do that.
