Seduction is an art where words and gestures become the palette. These quotes highlight the allure and mystery of seduction through literature’s most evocative expressions.<\/span><\/p>\n- “There was a closeness between them that did not rush or demand, but waited – aware of its own gravity.” – David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas<\/em><\/li>\n
- “Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.” – William Shakespeare, “Much Ado About Nothing”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.” – Victor Hugo, “Les Misérables”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds; he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together.” – Virginia Woolf, Orlando<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- “I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed my way by members of the opposite sex. For want of a better word, call it magnetism. Like it or not, it’s a kind of power that snares people and reels them in.” – Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- “It surprised her how intimacy could feel less like surrender and more like recognition.” – Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body<\/em><\/li>\n
- “Love was not separate from desire, but neither was it consumed by it; the two existed in constant negotiation.” – Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending<\/em><\/li>\n
- “Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they’re not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or – such is the pleasure they experience – they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.” – Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- “Their closeness was unhurried, shaped more by attention than by action.” – Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping<\/em><\/li>\n
- “What surprised him was how intimacy was less about what happened, and more about how it changed the space between them afterward.” – Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn<\/li>\n
- “Desire did not feel wild or reckless to her; it felt deliberate, like a choice she was finally ready to make.” – Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin<\/em><\/li>\n
- “She wanted him with a quiet intensity, not because she was swept away, but because being close to him felt like returning to something essential.” – Ian McEwan, On Chesil Beach<\/em><\/li>\n
- “She understood then that desire was not something separate from her life, but something woven into how she experienced the world.” – Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body<\/em><\/li>\n
- “He’d noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination – but at the end of the day they’d settle quite happily for egg and chips. If it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.” – Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- “Once desire was acknowledged, it stopped being overwhelming and became something they could carry together.” – Anne Enright, The Gathering<\/em><\/li>\n
- “She wanted him not because she was taken, but because she was choosing.” – Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay<\/em><\/li>\n
- “But when a woman decides to sleep with a man, there is no wall she will not scale, no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she will not ignore at its very root: there is no God worth worrying about.” – Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- “Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.” – Oscar Wilde<\/span><\/li>\n
- “We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.” – Tom Robbins, “Jitterbug Perfume”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “Desire moved through her quietly, without spectacle, asking only to be acknowledged.” – Ali Smith, How to Be Both<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
