Quote examples
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Belgian Dramatist
I don't like apartments - the idea of other people living, copulating and defecating above me - they make me feel as trapped as a slice of ham in a sandwich. When I was a student in Paris, I always rented attics right at the top of buildings, and as soon as I was making enough money, I bought houses.
Quote examples
Alan Moore
British Writer

Quote examples
Emo Philips
American Comedian
My classmates would copulate with anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself.

Orson Welles
American Actor
The two things you cannot do effectively on stage are pray and copulate.

Eric Hoffer
American Writer
There are no chaste minds. Minds copulate wherever they meet.
