More quotes by 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 religious heritage sort of suggests implicitly and explicitly that you pay your dues and you get your reward later on, that's a little inconsistent with the notion of personal, happiness. I am a strong believer in a set of values that are rooted in the notion of happiness and personal fulfillment.
Hugh Hefner
The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner
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.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. The notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.
Hugh Hefner
Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
Hugh Hefner
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.
Hugh Hefner
What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.
Hugh Hefner
I truly believe that age - if you're healthy - age is just a number.
Hugh Hefner
Creating my own world in a comic or selling my first penny newspaper aged nine was a way of gaining recognition and acceptance by my peers.
Hugh Hefner
Life is bittersweet. Inside our heads, if we're lucky, we're the same kids as we were when we were young.
Hugh Hefner
My best pick-up line is My name is Hugh Hefner.
Hugh Hefner
You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
Hugh Hefner
Part of the sexual revolution is bringing rationality to sexuality. Because when you don't embrace sexuality in a normal way, you get the twisted kinds, and the kinds that destroy lives.
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
My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.
Hugh Hefner
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.
Hugh Hefner
I'm actually a very moral guy.
Hugh Hefner
When I was young I had a security blanket and a pet dog. The dog got sick and died and the blanket had to be burned, so I guess I was trying to recreate the image of security in the bunny. It was a Citizen Kane/Rosebud thing.
