01UndatedWhen it happened I was terrified. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I was a cliche. I looked at myself in the mirror and in my eyes was a look I had never seen before: confusion, mystery and, yes, happiness. I had fallen in love.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
02UndatedThe kiss is the greatest of gifts, a miracle, uniquely human. A kiss beneath the mistletoe. A kiss after midnight. A kiss before dying. The devil's kiss. As a picture tells a thousand words, so a kiss says everything that's important. I am told prostitutes never kiss their clients. It is too personal, too human. We kiss to say I love you. We kiss the rings of the self-important. The feet of conquerors. The rich dark earth when we reach the promised land. We kiss our hands and wave as loved ones begin a journey. We kiss strangers before dawn in the first hours of a New Year because our wintry lips are incomplete until they are oiled by a kiss.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
03UndatedTwo spacemen touching in anti-gravity is like a kiss. But then, there is nothing like a kiss. A kiss is a rare bird. The first sip of champagne. The fleeting glimpse of a shooting star. The kiss is uniquely human. We exchange bodily fluids with a kiss. A great kiss is like eating melon on a picnic. Like diving into a warm sea. A French kiss is a battle of tongues where everyone wins.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
04UndatedMaking love requires no thought. You move as the fronds of a palm tree move in the breeze. It is all instinct. All wonder. When you love someone, your lips are incomplete until they are oiled by a kiss. You can say ‘I love you’ a thousand ways but you can say it better with silence and a kiss.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
05UndatedIt is at night when sleep like the outgoing sea leaves you dry and cold and the morning light arrives like a small punishment.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
09UndatedIf sex is a journey, orgasm is the both the purpose and journey's end.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
10UndatedThe touch of his fingertips on my back is like a great cellist brushing the strings of his instrument, or a watchmaker turning a tiny screw invisible to the naked eye. The feeling is erotic, magical, and I just want to go home and go to bed.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
11UndatedA picture may describe a 1000 words but it will often need 1000 words to describe a picture.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗

13UndatedWhen you've been everywhere, tried it all and done it all, what's left is the exploration of self, intellectually and sexually, through curiosity and erotica.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
14UndatedWhen you succumb to obedience, in an erotic sense, you are not giving away a part of yourself, but seeking something new, something other, within yourself.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
15UndatedThe erotic is not about nudity and nudity is rarely erotic. The erotic is subtle, a feeling, a gesture, a mood, a story frozen in the moment that holds you breathless waiting for the next moment. Understand this, and you understand the erotic.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
18UndatedThere is a kind of truth in a well-told lie. When we look back, we don't see things as they were but how we would like them to have been.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
19UndatedThe hardest thing in the world is to be original. It seems like our heads are filled with banalities and clichés. You have to keep digging deeper and deeper to try and find a fresh new seam that hasn't been explored.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
20UndatedIf you roll a pearl around your mouth it slowly reveals the dreams of oysters, memories of the sea, the taste of orgasm.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
21UndatedBooks have a life. They breathe. When you write a book, it grows and changes. You learn from your characters after you create them. They come from you and you become them.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
22UndatedReading is sexy. Women who read are suspect. Women who write dangerous.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
23UndatedI am made of words. When you cut me, I bleed sentences. When you read me, I speak to your soul.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
24UndatedHere's one prophecy the writer can make - you'll never be rich and you'll probably be poor.Chloe Thurlow / quote ↗
