More quotes by Hugh Hefner
It's hard to really compare new love and old love.
Hugh Hefner
If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
Historically the Puritans left England to escape religious persecution, and they promptly turned around and started persecuting the people they didn't agree with - the scarlet letter A, and the stocks and the dunking board came from that. That puritanism is still there.
Hugh Hefner
After all the Puritans came to America to escape from persecution and then turned around and started persecuting other people. So I understand that conflict that we have related to play and pleasure and sexuality. And I think what has made my life worthwhile is trying to deal with some of those questions.
Hugh Hefner
I didn't want to repeat my parents life. I saw in their lives a routine and a lack of dreaming, a lack of the possibilities, a lack of passion. And I didn't want to live without passion.
Hugh Hefner
If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.
Hugh Hefner
I think being connected to younger people helps to keep you young and gives you a young attitude.

Hugh Hefner
I was fortunate enough to be raised in a, in a very romantic time in terms of music, and the music itself simple reflected the much more romantic time.
Hugh Hefner
We indeed did and do own our own minds and bodies, and anything from church or state that limits that is inappropriate and inconsistent with the ... society that America is supposed to be.
Hugh Hefner
Power has not corrupted me. I have not become jaded. I wake up every day well aware of my good fortune, loving the work I do, loving my life, realizing that life is a crapshoot and I'm on a roll second to none.
Hugh Hefner
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
Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.
Hugh Hefner
We have a tremendous opportunity to try to start solving some of our overwhelming problems with population related environment, related to the hatred that exists between countries and religions, so we have a tremendous opportunity, but the dangers are very clearly there.
Hugh Hefner
Publishing a sophisticated men's magazine seemed to me the best possible way of fulfilling a dream I'd been nurturing ever since I was a teenager: to get laid a lot.
Hugh Hefner
The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.
Hugh Hefner
The business end of business has never interested me.
Hugh Hefner
I am not primarily an entrepreneurial businessman. I'm primarily a playboy philosopher.
Hugh Hefner
What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.
