Perhaps it was in a cave in some bare and wind-swept hill, perhaps some inmost recess of a great forest and there the Sabbath was held attended by a companion, a shape of glamour and unearthly allurement beckoning him apart, to share in joys more exquisite, more piercing than the thrill of any dream, to the consummation of the marriage of the Sabbath.

The vista was so beautiful that it seemed like the country-side itself was having a gigantic orgasm in the arms of Mother Nature
She had never seen a building devoted to the true spirit of mankind: that of sex, Sex, SEX!
– Alex Raymond
She did not feel that she was a fine person – at that moment the definition of a fine person eluded her. All definition eluded her, save how she felt at the moment.
– Jim Layne
She would never be satisfied until every conceivable act of copulation had taken place.
– J.G. Ballard
The object of the lover’s desire is a phantom unknowable, unseizable, ever present during the hours of his sleep as well as the hours of consciousness. Only the phantom is real and yet Swan knows that she has nothing to do with the young woman whose name is Odette.
– Wallace Fowlie
For there was a singing in the way she rode, erect and sure, her head high and proud; and he heard that singing in her blood while she brought her father’s ashes to the spot the dead man she loved had chosen, to this high meadow pressed against the sky.
– Ben Ames Williams
Her hips worked smoothly at the fabric as she walked. When she turned around, the effect was equally interesting.
– Frank Kane
She turned very slowly and her body made a smooth, fat curving flow so that the sight of her as she faced him was thick and juicy, richly sweet and deliciously bitter.
– David Goodis
Mike allowed his eyes to lock with Elizabeth’s. He would later claim he felt a tingling sensation, the kind you supposedly get just before lightning strikes.
– Rena Vicini
Something deep inside him responded to the crude appeal of the strange woman. The pure evil of this wickedly attractive woman touched something dark and primitive deep within him. Something too strong to resist, a part of him he prayed Laura would never know.
He could smell her exotic perfume and see into the deep valley between her wide-set breasts and feel the brush of her knee against his leg. He knew he should push away from her at that moment and run for the door, before the spell got any stronger, before he started the trip through hell…yet he was powerless to move.
– William Moore
"You’ll never get to heaven."
She shuddered at the very thought. "It must be awfully damn lonely up there, don’t you think?"
– Cornell Woolrich
The obscene thought of the unnatural forbidden act that was going to take place in front of her caused Tina to moan in dread and fascination wanting to see this depraved act.
– S. Blake
The world was full of ominous shadows and everywhere he turned a new shadow fell, the bars of a cell that one by one were dropping into place.
– Harold McCoy
From out of that pall of velvet darkness which hung below the clouds came for a single moment a vision of violet light. It rose apparently from nowhere, it passed away into space. It was visible barely for five seconds, then it had gone. Garnet spoke with a little sob. "My God!" he murmured. "They’re coming!"
Birth, life and education count for nothing when the great days come, when the mother voice speaks.
– E. Phillips Oppenheim
She knew nothing now but the swirling vortex of sensation, the multi-colored veil of ravening desire that devoured her senses, dropping her to nature’s level of performance.
– J. B. Thompson
The universe, or cosmos, was accordingly most appropriately represented as a vast assembly of gods in human form, an assembly of divine wills.
– Milton Covensky
They were plunging to the way-out crescendo that was new and astonishing and ecstatic.
It was insane, Sharon thought in incoherent amusement, all of her geared to receiving this excitement. Nothing like this ever, she thought, bathed in passion, following blindly where the others led.
– Joan Ellis
Only two ways are open to the deepest levels of the psyche where the individual can communicate with the Absolute, with Genesis: madness, the pathological state of mind — and sex, desire and pain.
