More quotes by Hugh Hefner
Beauty is everywhere - on the campus, in the office, living next door... Nice girls like sex too - it's a natural part of life. Don't be ashamed of it.
Hugh Hefner
Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
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 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.
Hugh Hefner
I feel saddened when people who have major friendships or marriages wind up on the outs. Because I think you lose a little piece of yourself.
Hugh Hefner
Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.
Hugh Hefner
Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
Hugh Hefner
I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women
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
In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.
Hugh Hefner
If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
My life is an open book. With illustrations.
Hugh Hefner
Without question, love in its various permutations is what we need more of in this world. The idea that the concept of marriage will be sullied by same-sex marriage is ridiculous. Heterosexuals haven't been doing that well at it on their own.
Hugh Hefner
You really don't create an authoritarian society unless you control the personal choices including the sexual choices of the people.
Hugh Hefner
My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.
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
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 think being connected to younger people helps to keep you young and gives you a young attitude.
Hugh Hefner
People get their information in different ways now. And we are a little poorer for it, because the way you get information affects what you learn.
Hugh Hefner
I am in very good health. I've never felt better.
Hugh Hefner
