Seductiveness Quotes
There is a certain seductiveness about dead things. You can ill treat, alter and recolour what's dead. It won't complain.
Jeanette Winterson
But then she was not awkward, she was slow-flowing, graceful, seductive - a seductiveness that had nothing to do with breast and hips and legs, but was an invitation to forget the world in the recesses of the body.
Bernhard Schlink
Extreme seductiveness is at the boundary of horror.
Georges Bataille
Certain women because of their female power and seductiveness could bring destruction to a family.
Margaret Way
The attraction of dating is that you don't take yes for granted - - you're fully engaged, there's seductiveness, tension.
Esther Perel
I had heard such predictions all my life from Malcolm and all his posthumous followers who hollered that the Dreamers must reap what they sow. I saw the same prediction in the words of Marcus Garvey who promised to return in a whirlwind of vengeful ancestors, an army of Middle Passage undead. No. I left The Mecca knowing that this was all too pat, knowing that should the Dreamers reap what they had sown, we would reap it right with them. Plunder has matured into habit and addiction; the people who could author the mechanized death of our ghettos, the mass rape of private prisons, then engineer their own forgetting, must inevitably plunder much more. This is not a belief in prophecy but in the seductiveness of cheap gasoline.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
