Patricia Briggs Quotes

Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex.

Everyone is having sex until they fall in love. When you fall in love, then it's making love.

I don't think that sex necessarily produces intimacy.

Sex cannot be contained within a definition of physical pleasure, it cannot be understood as merely itself for it has stood for too long as a profound connection between human beings.

Making love, we are all more alike than we are when we are talking or acting.

Make love when you can. It's good for you.

Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification.

Love' is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.

But obviously, things have changed in many ways since the '50s, when the show is started, in terms of sexuality, and how much access we have to images of it and information about it. But, the same problems always apply. It doesn't matter whether we know a lot more about sex now or if there's a lot more access to it. The same problems of intimacy, of dealing with other people, of connecting and being vulnerable with other people, which is what the show is ultimately about, still applies now, I think.

You can never know anyone as completely as you want. But that’s okay, love is better.

If you go on loving a person deeply, by and by sex disappears. Intimacy becomes so fulfilling, then there is no need for sex; love is enough unto itself. When that moment comes then there is the possibility of prayer dawning upon you.

Love is mistranslated into sex, because sex is not an expression of love. Sex is an expression of physical activity. It can be an expression of love between two people in love, but it's a carnal expression.

I think we're always in love. It's that simple. And it's important to remember that love doesn't have anything to do with sex. It's two different things. Being in love is the happy part. I was teasing my gentleman, "We know that you're in love when you cook for us." It's true. When men cook for you, they're in love.

Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.
