More quotes by Hugh Hefner
It's women who have embraced their own sexuality, it's why women wear makeup, it's why they wear high heels. It's what civilization is all about.
Hugh Hefner
I've had death threats, but I've never been fearful for my life. Although I have traveled with security since the '60s.
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
My life is an open book. With illustrations.
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
I think being connected to younger people helps to keep you young and gives you a young attitude.
Hugh Hefner
Someone once asked, 'What's your best pickup line?' I said, 'My best pickup line is, 'Hi, my name is Hugh Hefner.''
Hugh Hefner
I would like to think that I will be remembered as someone who had some positive impact on the sociosexual values of his time. And I think I'm secure and happy in that.
Hugh Hefner
I think that retirement is the first step towards the grave.
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
The phenomena there is something in us that on the one hand bonds us with like people but somehow makes us suspicious of other people.
Hugh Hefner
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.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.
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
If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.
Hugh Hefner
Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.
Hugh Hefner
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
Hugh Hefner
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.
