Quote

Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.

More quotes by Hugh Hefner

Image
I was a very idealistic, very romantic kid in a very typically Midwestern Methodist repressed home. There was no show of affection of any kind, and I escaped to dreams and fantasies produced, by and large, by the music and the movies of the '30s.

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
Image
I truly believe that age - if you're healthy - age is just a number.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I tried to make some difference, and I think I managed to do that.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
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
Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
Hugh Hefner
Image
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.

If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
Image
America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

I guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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
Image
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
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
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.

What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.

For me, the magazine was always the heart of what my life was all about, and the other half was living the life.
