PLAYBOY

"I had a lot of girlfriends, but it's not the same as cheating. I don't cheat. I am very open about what I do . . . I think that when you are in a relationship, you should be honest. The real immorality of infidelity is the lying."

-Hugh Hefner

"Whatever joy there is in this world,
All comes from desiring others to be happy.

And whatever suffering there is in this world,

All comes from desiring myself to be happy."

-Shantideva
