“Nothing goes on forever. I think that's one of the illusions of life. When I talk about my life being an extension of my dreams and fantasies, there's a tendency to think of them as immature. I live in a mature world. The majority of the people in this society live with delusions and illusions much more irrational and hurtful than mine. They deal with mortality, with fantasies relating to heaven and hell, and they don't really deal with their problems at all.” PeopleThinkingWorldProblemDreamHeavenDealsFantasyHellForeverMinesGoes OnIllusionMajorityTendenciesDelusionMatureMortalityIrrationalExtensionsHeaven And HellImmatureHurtfulThis SocietyIllusions Of Life Author:Hugh Hefner

That potential is unlimited.” WorldKindMeanDreamPoliticalEconomicCommunismAmerican DreamPlayboyPersonal FreedomPolitical Freedom Author:Hugh Hefner
“My life has been devoted to trying to bring a little more understanding to human sexuality - not just in society, but also inside myself. The struggle has been internal as well as external. One of the reasons that I have such tremendous satisfaction at this point in my life is because I know I've made a difference. I've made a difference in a way that really matters to me. I see a lot of terrible things going on in the world, but there are some good things going on too, and I feel I've been a part of that. I really do feel I have been on the side of the angels.” WorldTryingReasonUnderstandingStruggleTerribleAngelGood ThingsSexuality Author:Hugh Hefner
“The notion that Playboy turns women into sex objects is ridiculous. Women are sex objects. If women weren't sex objects, there wouldn't be another generation.
