Sex without love

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's a pretty good empty experience.



Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
(Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex)



That [sex] was the most fun I ever had without laughing.
(Annie Hall)



Don't knock masturbation, it's sex with someone I
love.
(Annie Hall)

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.



Sex between a man and a woman can be absolutely wonderful - provided you get between the right man and the right woman.

Love is the answer - but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.

Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends.
(New Yorker, 'My Philosophy')



The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.
(Without Feathers, 'The Scrolls')



It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
(Death)



The thing to remember is that each time of life has its appropriate rewards, whereas when you're dead it's hard to find the light switch. 


The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife - a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
(The Early Essays)



Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
(The Early Essays)



I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of another boy.

I asked the girl if she could bring a sister for me. She did. Sister Maria Teresa. It was a very slow evening. We discussed the New Testament. We agreed that He was very well adjusted for an only child.
(Woody Allen: Clown Prince of American Humor)



And my parents finally realize that I'm kidnapped and they snap into action immediately: they rent out my room.
(Woody Allen and His Comedy)
My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.
(Woody Allen and His Comedy) 



Death is an acquired trait.
(Woody Allen and His Comedy)



I don't want to achieve immortality through my work…I want to achieve it through not dying.
(Woody Allen and His Comedy)

I took a speed reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It's about Russia.
(Quote and Unquote)



Take the money and run.
(Film title)



If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
(Selections from the Allen Notebooks, New Yorker)

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.


There are two types of people in this world: good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more .


More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.


What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought - particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things.


94.5% of all statistics are made up.
