Drugs, gambling, and prostitution are the Big Three underground 'moneymakers' in consensual crime. There would be, however, significant boosts to the economy if the stigma attached to the other consensual crimes were eliminated through legalization.

Peter McWilliams

government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior.

Camille Paglia

The only thing I shy away from is non-consensual violence. I can't write a story where someone is a simple victim because it's boring.

Chuck Palahniuk

Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination.

William Gibson

Money is more than a massively consensual IOU note. It is a piece of infrastructure and is as artificial as Interstate 5, NutraSweet or season three of 'Mad Men.'

Douglas Coupland

Consensual paranoia - the pathology of the normal person who is a member of a war-justifying society - forms the template from which all the images of the enemy are created. By studying the logic of paranoia, we can see why certain archetypes of the enemy must necessarily recur, no matter what the historical circumstances.

Sam Keen

I try to photograph what can't be photographed - psychological or subjective reality, which seems more real than physical or consensual reality.

Barbara Ess

James McGreevey

The thing is, I never see my characters as psychopaths. I see them as really crippled victims who just happen to do bad things. And I never see them as bad guys; I see them as darker characters. I never see anything as good or bad; it's more light or dark, and the in-between is the grey.

Peter McWilliams

Safe, sane and consensual what do those words really mean? Assimilation, that's what.

Laura Antoniou

Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.

Monica Lewinsky

Consensual reality is both fragile and elastic, and it heals like the skin of a bubble.

Jonathan Lethem

We're at 103,000 feet. Looking out over a very beautiful, beautiful world . . . a hostile sky. As you look up the sky looks beautiful but hostile. As you sit here you realize that Man will never conquer space. He will learn to live with it, but he will never conquer it. Can see for over 400 miles. Beneath me I can see the clouds. . . . They are beautiful . . . looking through my mirror the sky is absolutely black. Void of anything. . . . I can see the beautiful blue of the sky and above that it goes into a deep, deep, dark, indescribable blue which no artist can ever duplicate. It's fantastic.

Joseph Kittinger

My political philosophy as a libertarian says that government has no business intervening in any consensual private behavior. My professional ethic as a thinker and writer, however, says that self-knowledge is our ultimate responsibility

Camille Paglia

In an unmolested market economy - one where all dealings are consensual - the 'allocation' of wealth and income is the result of transactions.
