More quotes by Hugh Hefner

After all the Puritans came to America to escape from persecution and then turned around and started persecuting other people.

We're separated by our myths.
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
