A woman is, occasionally, quite a serviceable substitute for masturbation. It takes an abundance of imagination, to be sure.
Karl Kraus
Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit; adaptation, even more so.
Anonymous
She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit…
William Somerset Maugham
Masturbation takes the form of both self appreciation and self stimulation. (Head First, 2000:130)
Tony Buzan
Man may escape from rope and gun;
Nay, some have outlived the doctor's pill:
Who takes a woman must be undone,
That basilisk is sure to kill.
The fly that sips treacle is lost in the sweets,
So he that tastes woman, woman, woman,
He that tastes woman, ruin meets.John Gay
The more I see of the world, the more I am convinced that civilisation is a blessing not sufficiently estimated by those who have not traced its progress; for it not only refines our enjoyments, but produces a variety which enables us to retain the primitive delicacy of our sensations. Without the aid of the imagination all the pleasures of the senses must sink into grossness, unless continual novelty serve as a substitute for the imagination, which, being impossible, it was to this weariness, I suppose, that Solomon alluded when he declared that there was nothing new under the sun!
Mary Wollstonecraft
