“I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.”
Bjork

Christopher Moore
“...as if someone had thrown a hand grenade into the middle of a teddy bear orgy and the only survivors had had their fur blown off.”
Christopher Moore, You Suck

Jim  Butcher
“Maybe,” he said in a slow, rural drawl, “you could explain to me why I found you in the middle of an orgy.”
“Well,” I said, “if you’re going to be in an orgy, the middle is the best spot, isn’t it.”
Jim Butcher, Hex Appeal

Isaac Bashevis Singer
“When the ship approached the equator, I stopped going out on deck in the daytime. The sun burned like a flame. The days had shortened and night came swiftly. One moment it was light, the next it was dark. The sun did not set but fell into the water like a meteor. Late in the evening, when I went out briefly, a hot wind slapped my face. From the ocean came a roar of passions that seemed to have broken through all barriers:'We mus procreate and multiply! We must exhaust all the powers of lust!' The waves glowed like lava, and I imagined I could see multitudes of living beings - algae, whales, sea monsters - reveling in an orgy, from the surface to the bottom of the sea. Immortality was the law here. The whole planet raged with animation. At times, I heard my name in the clamor: the spirit of the abyss calling me to join them in their nocturnal dance. ("Hanka")”
Isaac Bashevis Singer, American Fantastic Tales: Terror and the Uncanny from the 1940s to Now

Théophile Gautier
“The famous courtesan Clarimonde died recently, as the result of an orgy which lasted eight days and eight nights. It was something infernally
magnificent. They revived the abominations of the feasts of Belshazzar and Cleopatra. Great God!
what an age this is in which we live! The guests were served by swarthy slaves speaking an unknown tongue, who to my mind had every appearance of veritable demons; the livery of the meanest among them might have served as a gala-costume for an emperor. There have always been current some very
strange stories concerning this Clarimonde, and all her lovers have come to a miserable or a violent end. It has been said that she was a ghoul, a female vampire; but I believe that she was Beelzebub in person.”
Théophile Gautier, Clarimonde

Jean Lorrain
“One encounters in the streets, late at night on the evenings of fetes, the most strange and bizarre passers-by. Do these nights of popular celebration cause ancient and forgotten avatars to stir in the depths of the human soul? This evening, in the movement of the sweaty and excited crowd, I am certain that I passed between the masks of the liberated Bythinians and encountered the courtesans of the Roman decadence.

There emerged, this evening, from that swarming esplanade of Des Invalides - amid the crackle of fireworks, the shooting stars, the stink of frying, the hiccuping of drunkards and the reeking atmosphere of menageries - the wild effusions of one of Nero's festivals.

It was like the odour of a May evening on the Basso-Porto of Naples. It was easy to believe that the faces in that crowd were Sicilian.”
Jean Lorrain

Fierce Dolan
“Nothing was like knowing you were the appetizer for a feast of orgy, that you were what whetted the guests and enticed them to devour.”
Fierce Dolan, Belle du Nuit

Samuel R. Delany
“Because feelings, emotional and physical, are so foregrounded in sexual encounters, the orgy is soon the most social of human interchanges, where awareness and communication, whether verbal or no, hold all together or sunder it.”
Samuel R. Delany, The Motion of Light in Water: Sex and Science Fiction Writing in the East Village

Clarice Lispector
“I am blinded. I open my eyes wide and only see. But the secret - that I neither see nor feel. Could I be making here a true orgy of what's behind thought?”
Clarice Lispector

Aldous Huxley
“Orgy-porgy, round and round and round, beating one another in six-eight time.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Colleen Chen
“A room—full of detached feet—like hundreds of them. Maybe thousands! And I saw the king in there. He was having an orgy with them. It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen. Like a bunch of insects crawling all over his naked body. Except they weren’t insects.”
Colleen Chen, Dysmorphic Kingdom

L.H. Cosway
“The more the merrier, that’s what I always say. Except if it’s an orgy; you’ve got to be picky in matter of group sex.”
L.H. Cosway, Showmance

Fiston Mwanza Mujila
“He hiccupped and continued: "I write therefore I come...But unfortunately, my orgies are never eternal!...”
Fiston Mwanza Mujila, Tram 83

Neel Burton
“By diverting the Dionysian impulse into special rites on special days, the orgy kept it under control, preventing it from surfacing in more insidious and perfidious ways. More than that, it transformed it into an invigorating and liberating—and, in that much, profoundly religious—celebration of life and the life force. It permitted people to escape from their artificial and restricted social roles to regress into a more authentic state of nature, which modern psychologists have associated with the Freudian
id or unconscious. It appealed most to marginal groups, since it set aside the usual hierarchies of man over woman, master over slave, patrician over commoner, rich over poor, and citizen over foreigner. In short, it gave people a much-needed break—like modern holidays, but cheaper and more effective.”
Neel Burton, For Better For Worse: Should I Get Married?

Poul Anderson
“Holger didn't feel like an orgy, but had no way to refuse.”
Poul Anderson, Three Hearts and Three Lions

Armistead Maupin
“I have always preferred an occasional orgy to a nightly routine."
"What?"
"Aunt Augusta said that. In Travels with My Aunt.”
Armistead Maupin, Mary Ann in Autumn

“The erotic pleasure was starting to take on a life of its own for all three”
Bat Maxwell, The Color of Honey

John Scalzi
“Alex Roentgen stared at Jared, mildly incredulous. ::You actually need a reason to have an orgy?:: Jared began to respond, but Roentgen held up his hand. ::One, because we’ve been through the valley of the shadow of death and come through the other side. And there’s no better way to feel alive than this. And after the shit we’ve seen today, we need to get our minds off it right quick. Two, because as great as sex is, it’s even better when everyone you’re integrated with is doing it at the same time.::”
John Scalzi, The Ghost Brigades

“§417. The purpose of science is to be turned into technology, and the purpose of technology is to be used in the construction of the Overman. Any purpose other than this is false, at worst a challenge to our culture (since the Overman IS culture: its last and highest achievement), at best a mere misunderstanding. As for "pure science", this is as much of an absurdity as pure spirit: things we can't influence we have no interest in. And it is only because we can influence everything (because flux: either we can influence everything or nothing, since in a universe of flux changing one thing changes everything) that we are interested in everything. So if we help African children, it is only with a view to turning them into scientists and engineers to help construct the Overman. If we support the arts, we do so to inspire the Overman and help him to relax, or to use failed artists as waiters to serve the Overman his meals. Or McDonalds: to feed the subhumans who clean the toilets in the labs where the scientists and engineers are working on the Overman. Everything can be reduced to this. Every other conception of purpose is folly. Everything going the opposite way, e.g. environmentalism, artfaggotry, religions other than Overman worship, and so on, are threats to be suppressed, or better yet to be reinterpreted as opportunities for the Overman to challenge himself and exercise his powers. Only as intellectual exercises for the Overman are all these forms of decay justified, but once their workings have been fully grasped, as they will be by the time the present work is over, they are nothing but nuisances that serve no useful purpose and must be minimized or, if possible, completely eliminated.”
Alex Kirkegaard

Holly Black
“You shouldn't be alone,' I say, because if the Undersea is going to strike, then we must not give it any easy targets. 'Not tonight.'

Cardan grins. 'I hadn't planned on it.'

The offhand implication that he's not alone most nights bothers me, and I hate that it does. 'Good,' I say, swallowing that feeling, though it feels like swallowing bile. 'But if you're planning on taking someone to bed- or better yet, several someones- choose guards. And then have yourselves guarded by more guards.'

'A veritable orgy.' He seems delighted by the idea.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Sarah J. Maas
“This drive contains footage of you at a three-day orgy?' Hunt demanded.

'Let me know if it gets you hot and bothered, Athalar.' The Viper Queen took another hit of the cigarette. Her green eyes drifted toward his lap. 'I hear you're one Hel of a ride when you pause the brooding long enough.”
Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood
