Variety, multiplicity are the two most powerful vehicles of lust.

Though lust do masque in ne'er so strange disguise she's oft found witty, but is never wise.
John Webster, English Playwright
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.
John Webster, English Playwright
When you feel a connection, a gut connection, a heart connection, it's a very special thing. What's familiar to everyone is watching people falling in love; it doesn't happen on screen that often. People fall in lust, then they're suddenly together.
Alfre Woodard, American Actress (1952-  )
