| SEX See also: Lust | 性 |
| God thought of sex before man did, and when man
leaves God out of his sexual thinking he is in trouble. John Blanchard 上帝在人類之前就想到了性，而當人類在性的觀念中排除了上帝，就會陷入麻煩。 |
| What would you not give to
have the word 'sex' set free from every trace of fear, guilt, shame and impurity? John Blanchard 你願意付出什麼，好讓「性」這個詞從恐懼、罪疚、羞恥和不潔的痕跡中完全解脫？ |
| All healthy men, ancient and modern, Eastern and
Western, know that there is a certain fury in sex that we cannot afford to inflame, and
that a certain mystery and awe must ever surround it if we are to remain sane. G. K. Chesterton 所有健康人，不分古今中外，都知道在性裡面的某些激情是我們不能冒險煽起的，如果我們想保持理智的話，仍需要待以某些神秘與敬畏。 |
| Sex without love is a dead
end. Fred Catherwood 沒有愛的性是死路一條。 |
| What happens when sex is liberated is not equality
but a vast intensification of sexual competition from which there is no sure haven except
impotence and defeat. George Gilder 當性被解放時，不是帶來兩性平等而是更劇烈的兩性競爭，在其中沒有避風港，只有軟弱與幻滅。 |
| The battle of life will
probably not rise above the sex battle. E. Stanley Jones 人生的戰鬥大概不會高過性的戰爭。 |
| Sexual desire is not love. Desire is quite
compatible with personal hatred, or contempt, or indifference. John MacMurray 性慾不是愛。慾望幾乎相同於個人的恨惡、輕視或冷漠。 |
| God never intended that man
could find the true meaning of his sexuality in any other relationship than that of the
total self-giving involved in marriage. Al Martin 上帝從未打算過除了全然付出的投入婚姻外，人能在其他任何關係中找到性的真正意義。 |

'love without sex', today it is 'sex without love'. David Watson 在維多利亞時代，人們認為「要愛不需要性」，今天則是「要性不要愛」。 |

and personality, and to misuse sex is to abuse oneself as well as one's partner. Harold P. Wells 性包含整個生活與人格，濫用性等於糟蹋自己、糟蹋別人。 |
| If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there
are so many books on how to? Bette Midler 如果性真是那麼自然的現象，那怎麼來的這麼多書告訴人家怎麼做呢？ |
| Sometimes in my dreams there
are women...When such dreams happen, immediately I remember, 'I am a monk.'...It is very
important to analyze 'What is the real benefit of sexual desire?' The appearance of a
beautiful face or a beautiful body - as many scriptures describe - no matter how
beautiful, they essentially decompose into a skeleton. When we penetrate to its human
flesh and bones, there is no beauty, is there? A couple in a sexual experience is happy
for that moment. Then very soon trouble begins. The Dalai Lama 有時候我會夢到女人...當那樣的夢出現時，我立刻想起「我是個和尚。」...分析「性慾的真正益處是甚麼？」實在非常重要。漂亮臉孔或者漂亮身材的外貌 - 就像許多經文描述的 - 無論多麼漂亮，終將腐爛只剩骨頭。當我們深入探究人們的軀體與骨骼，那裡根本沒有美麗，有嗎？一對男女在性經驗中獲得短暫快樂，很快的麻煩就開始了。 |
| Everyone lies about sex, more or less, to themselves
if not to others, exaggerating its importance or minimizing its pull. Brad Hambrick 每個人對「性」都會撒點謊，如果不是對別人，就是對他們自己；不是誇大它的重要性，就是貶低它的吸引力。 |
