“But I do think that women who spend all their lives on a diet probably have a miserable sex life: if your body is the enemy, how can you relax and take pleasure? Everything is about control, rather than relaxing, about holding everything in.”

“If relaxed means limp, don't worry about it. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed all over.”

Donald E. Westlake (1933–2008) American novelist

The Spy in the Ointment (1966)
Context: The cops are after me, I'm on my way to join an organization of lunatics and bombers, I'm wired for sound, my necktie turns into a smokescreen, my handkerchief will make you throw up, my Diner's Club card explodes, I'm the leader of a subversive terrorist organization composed entirely of undercover federal agents, newspapers all over the country are saying I killed my girl, and I'm on my way to meet a twenty-five-year-old Nazi built like Bronco Nagurski. If relaxed means limp, don't worry about it. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed all over.

“Steal the moments from time, get excited, write the story leaving a footprint of your existence, have fun, forget the bad moments thinking about the future with optimism, have sex with the person who can give you pleasure at the mere thought and remember to live by daring, dreaming and loving. Life is one, take note!”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Ruba gli attimi al tempo, emozionati, scrivi la storia lasciando una traccia della tua esistenza, divertiti, dimentica i brutti momenti pensando al futuro con ottimismo, fai sesso con la persona che può darti piacere al solo pensiero e ricordati di vivere osando, sognando ed amando. La vita è una, prendi nota!
