“When I'm around her, my feelings take over. I can't ignore the spark I feel when I'm around Violet. It's been such a long time since I've felt anything for anyone that I can't bring myself to walk away from it.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“You should've seen her in class today. She was desperately trying to get our professor's attention. I think she's mad at me because he called on me first.” “Look at you! That's my girl! You actually raised your hand, huh?” “Nope. In fact, I was the only one that didn't raise their hand. He said that's why he called on me.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I pull Violet's dress up to her waist, revealing her untouched vagina. For a quick moment, I admire it. That and wonder how the fuck it's managed to go twenty-two years without being penetrated.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I hold myself to a higher standard. I've never done anything inappropriate with a student. Have I been tempted? Have I had plenty of opportunities? Absolutely. But I've always been able to control myself. That's why being around Violet concerns me. I'm already having trouble controlling myself around her and it's only the first week of the semester.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I wonder why he decided to become a psychologist. No one studies psychology without a reason. This became obvious my first year of college. Every single psych major is here because either they're fucked up in the head or someone close to them is – or both. I wonder what it was about the professor that first first made him interested in psychology. He seems like such a normal, well-adjusted guy.”

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“The first day of class, I asked a question and every single student raised their hand – except one. Other professors probably wouldn't have even noticed young Violet sitting there, doing everything she could to avoid being called on. But I noticed. That's what separates me from other professors, from other men – I notice the things that they don't. It's all about attention to detail. That's why I'm a good psychologist, a good professor, a good writer, and a great lover.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I've never had a man influence my emotions like this and it kind of scares me – but it also excites me beyond words.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I think that's part of the reason why I'm generally only attracted to older men. Not only are they more mature, they have real interests and opinions. Guys around my age only want to talk about sports, video games, and other stuff I don't care about. I want a man who challenges me intellectually. A man who makes me think, makes me question my assumptions. A man of substance. A man like Professor Fitzgerald.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“A lot of words come to mind, but prude isn't one of them. Sexy. Untouched. Unclaimed. Virtuous. But certainly not prudish.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I've always been a sapiosexual. Though I only learned that term recently – meaning to be sexually attracted to intelligence – I've always felt that way.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I want you inside me,” I say. “Lemme see that legendary cock of yours.” “Legendary?” he asks. “You wrote the book on sex. I'm sure you did a lot of 'research' for the book.” “I'm not going to lie: I'm experienced. And you're gonna benefit from my experience cause I'm gonna use every single trick that I've learned to blow your fucking mind.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“You're wondering if you should put your hand up this time so you blend in with everyone else,” the professor says and smiles. “Don't worry, Violet: I'm not going to call on you first today.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“It doesn't even take sixty seconds before my body gets warm, my toes curl, and I erupt into one of the quickest orgasms I've ever had. I wonder what the female equivalent of a two-pump chump would be. I guess you could say I'm a two-flick chick!”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“She's interesting, intelligent, and incredibly cute – the trifecta of attractiveness.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Yes,” the professor says. “You.” “I didn't have my hand raised,” I say. “I know. That's why I picked you. You were the only one who didn't have their hand raised. That's interesting to me. Some of your peers were practically jumping out of their seats trying to get my attention. It's been my experience that, if a student doesn't raise their hand, it's not because they don't have something to contribute – it's because they're either shy or uninterested. I doubt it's the latter, otherwise you wouldn't be here. So, I'm going to assume that you're a bit shy – and there's nothing wrong with that. Shy students are often the brightest but need a little extra push to open up.”

“Welcome to the senior psychology honors seminar. As you all know, the topic for this semester will be social psychology. My name is Professor Fitzgerald, though you're welcome to call me James, if you'd like.”

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Imagine if I just dropped dead, right here in the middle of the aisle? My tombstone would read, Violet Anderson. Died from embarrassment as a virgin at the young age of twenty-two. Not exactly the way I want to go out.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Society sends us mixed messages about sex from grade school to the grave. And for us girls, it's even worse. If you're a guy and you have a lot of sex, you're a stud. But if you're a girl and you have lots of sex, you're a slut. Tramp. Whore. Ho. Floozy. I think you get the idea, but just in case you need a few more: Skank. Trollop. Hussy. Cum Dumpster. Alright, I'm done.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I'm surprised to see you here on a Saturday night. Shouldn't you be out with your boyfriend or getting trashed at a party or something?” “You're the psych professor. Shouldn't you be able to deduce from the fact that I'm here alone on a Saturday night buying a trashy romance novel that I don't have a boyfriend?”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“We're introverts. People like you and I are more inwardly focused and comfortable with ourselves. I consider it a gift. Most people go nuts if they're left alone for more than a little while. As introverts, we're okay being by ourselves for long periods of time. We prefer it, usually.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Kristen turns to me and sticks out her tongue. I half-lunge at her with an over-exaggerated bite, as if to remove it from her goofy face. “You bitch! You just bit off my tongue!” I pretend to spit it out and reply, “Gross! It tastes like underage cock!” “I'll have you know that Jeff's cock is perfectly legal.” “Yeah... Now it is!” We both laugh. I love joking around with Kristen. She likes her boys young – the exact opposite of me. While she gets turned on by innocence and immaturity, I find age and experience to be much more attractive. Though I've never been with one, I think older men are where it's at.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Balance of power is an important part of any meaningful relationship,” Josh starts. “If one person has all the power in a relationship and the other has none, it's not really a relationship. It's taking advantage.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Follow your passions, not your fears. Too many people make decisions based on fear. And it's those people who later in life are filled with regret.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“A quick Google search reveals that the professor is thirty-four years old.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“You don't have to be a psychologist to tell that Violet has a high level of social anxiety. Her voice is a bit shaky – but it's cute. It's not the only cute thing about Violet, though. She's stunningly prepossessing, but in a very subtle kind of way. Most guys probably see her as a prudish, withdrawn young woman with little interest in the opposite sex. I'm not so sure, though. My research has taught me that the quiet, intellectual types are usually the ones with the dirtiest minds.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“This isn't a regular psych class, though. It's a special social psychology seminar for senior honor students. Try saying that five times fast.”
