“Not moderation, but elimination is the ideal in regard to evolution-retarding habits. In a sanitarium for dope-addicts it may be advisable to allow patients temporarily a restricted — but at the same time gradually diminishing — use of narcotics. Similarly it may be advisable to condone that sex-addicts (that is to say: all those who have habituated themselves to sexual acts) do not suddenly break their habit, provided they will gradually overcome it. But no sane person can opine that a continuous use of drugs should be prescribed for the dope-addicted patients — not even in a so-called moderate degree. Still less that it should also be recommended for those who are free from the addiction. As little reasonable is it to claim that quasi moderate sexual activity must continually be indulged in by those who are addicted to such acts, and that also it should be recommended for all who are not so addicted.”

“整个大自然都力求达到快乐。快乐使得嫩草生长，芽苞勃发，蓓蕾开放。快乐把花冠安置在阳光的抚吻之下。快乐邀请一切生物结亲成婚。快乐使迟钝的幼虫成蛹，并使蝶蛾从蛹的牢狱中遁出，在快乐的指引下，一切都渴望更多的惬意，更多的觉醒，渴望进步……这就是为什么我在快乐中比在书本中能学到更多的东西，这就是为什么书本使我开窍的次数不多，使我变糊涂的次数倒不少。 在快乐中不存在着深思熟虑和讲究方法。我不假思索就跃入欢乐的海洋。我对自己能在海上浮游，不为海水吞没而感到十分惊奇。正是在快乐中，我们的整个存在意识到了自己。 这一切都不需要下什么决心。我沉湎于快乐是非常自然的事。以前我常听人说，人的天性是恶的，但我希望加以检验。不过，我觉得自己主要是对旁人感到好奇，而不是对自己。或者说得更确切些：肉欲在暗中起着作用，寻求迷人的混杂，把我抛出自我之外。 对我来说，只要我还没弄清楚自己是什么人，追求一种道德就不是很聪明的事，甚至是不可能的。我停止寻觅自己，为的是在爱之中找到自己。 在某个阶段，必须抛弃任何道德，不再抵制欲望。唯独欲望能给我教育。我顺从了欲望。”

“Man is the first product of evolution to be capable of controlling evolutionary destiny.'" Endowed as he is with reasoning powers, he must independently decide up on his own behavior, without the compelling guidance by instinct. Supplied with mind, he is expected to cooperate consciously with nature in her further evolutionary program. Unfortunately humanity has arrantly failed to make a serious effort to promote its own further progress. Instead of using the power of the mind to understand the responsibilities which freedom from blind obedience to instinct entails, mankind has refused to listen whenever it was reminded of the requirements of the evolutionary law. It was so much easier to lend an ear to the promptings of desire, which was an unknown element up to the human stage. It must have been very soon after the acquisition of mental self-consciousness and his becoming aware of stirrings of primitive impulses, that man began to use the mind to stimulate the desires of the body. In this way he has indulged the almost negligible sexual impulse which he inherited from the animal kingdom, until it has become a desire so strong that he has difficulty to control it. Overstimulated by this unnaturally strong desire of his own making, man has looked for arbitrary ways in which to gratify it. Although reducing actual reproduction, he has discovered ways of unreproductive sexual action. But every such act, whatever form it takes, is a misuse of sex and uses up some of the life force that should be utilized for the support and the development of higher faculties. "The record of our race progress clearly shows how our upward movement has been checked ... by that misuse.”

“The logical implication of these messages about the necessity of sex is that asexuality is an existential threat to any hope of a lasting relationship. Asexuality begins to feel like a twisted, reverse version of the scarlet A, a modern brand that now stands for ace and alone. It's no wonder that people hate the idea that they might be ace, if not wanting sex for any reason is a death sentence for romance.”

“FOR ADVANCED EVOLUTIONARY GROWTH PASSION MUST BE CONQUERED AND THE GENERATIVE ORGANS BE USED FOR GENERATION ONLY. In other words: all the sex force not actually used for the perpetuation of the species must by transmutation be made available for higher evolutionary attainment.”

“I knew it would end. I pretended I didn't because that seemed like the human thing to do. But I knew. She wanted monogamy, indefinitely. It's who she was. I wanted non-monogamy, indeterminately. It's who I am. We settled on monogamy, indeterminately, sacrificing parts of ourselves to be together and calling it love.”
