Status Updates From Hef's Little Black Book

“I projected everything that I was interested in, everything I had observed in my life, all the dreams that I had extracted from movies, all of this onto her. She couldn’t possibly have lived up to that. It was an illusion.”

Hefner used to live and sell illusions through playboy magazines, tv programs...

"Essentially, love is an illusion. It’s something you project. And it has a great deal to do with what love, or youthful fantasies of love, came before. We tend to repeat ourselves and fall in love with variations on the same person over and over again. If you think about it, you’ll know what I mean."

It is strange because the more I read about this guy, more intriguing I am about his story. He is from my gradfather generation and still so different.
