  1. „Aber wie in einem Gegensatz hierzu empfindet man Goethes Erotik als ein rein immanentes Ereignis und als habe seine Innerlichkeit dessen Kosten gleichsam allein zu tragen; und es ist wundervoll, wie das Reservierte, Selbstsüchtige, ja Rücksichtslose, das mit solchem solipsistischen Erleben der Liebe sich zu verbinden pflegt, bei ihm nie spürbar wird.“
  2. In Anzeigen wird Erotik oft nur als Stichwort für alles Mögliche, was mit Sexualität zu tun hat, verwendet.
