==Quotations==
"Unless a model is a good actress, and has 'that type' of face, it's difficult for her to look sad and miserable when working for me. My studio is a pretty cheerful place, and quite unlike the atmosphere that surrounds Gwendoline when the Countess gets hold of her."<ref>John Willie, ''The Art of John Willie - Sophisticated Bondage (Book Two)'', p. 1</ref>

"Bizarre. The magazine for pleasant optimists who frown on convention. The magazine of fashions and fantasies fantastic! Innumerable journals deal with ideas for the majority. Must all sheeplike follow in their wake? Bizarre is for those who have the courage of their own convictions. Conservative? — Old fashioned? — Not by any means! Where does a complete circle begin or end? And doesn't fashion move in a circle? Futuristic? Not even that—there is nothing new in fashion, it is only for the application of new materials—new ornaments—a new process of making—coupled with the taste and ability to create the unusual and unorthodox to the trend of the moment."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA316318769&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=10434070&p=LitRC&sw=w&userGroupName=anon%7E83c2504c&aty=open-web-entry |title=In Bizarre fashion: the double-voiced discourse of John Willie's fetish fantasia, Journal of the History of Sexuality (Vol. 22, Issue 1) |last=Pine |first=Julia |date=January 2013 |website=Gale Academic Onefile |publisher=University of Texas at Austin (University of Texas Press) |access-date=July 23, 2024 |quote=The basis of a decent society is a happy home.

"As for sex, ignorance is abysmal, because for centuries those who could not satisfy themselves, except by denying pleasure to others, have taught generation after generation that "sex is taboo." Thou shalt not think about it or discuss it. In fact, it's a dreadful thing, but it's all right as long as you don't enjoy it. If you have any other ideas on the subject, you are a pervert. The basis of a decent society is a happy home. Marriages break up almost invariably because of sex. What you do, or do not do, is your own business, all that matters is that the enjoyment be mutual, — and the time to discuss these things is before you get hitched up. There is a partner to suit everyone somewhere, but the search will be difficult until we can discuss our likes and dislikes, openly, in good taste, without threat from our own brand of standardized Police State."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA316318769&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=10434070&p=AONE&sw=w&userGroupName=anon%7E8e019fe9&aty=open-web-entry |title=In Bizarre fashion: the double-voiced discourse of John Willie's fetish fantasia, Journal of the History of Sexuality (Vol. 22, Issue 1) |last=Pine |first=Julia |date=January 2013 |website=Gale Academic Onefile |publisher=University of Texas at Austin (University of Texas Press) |access-date=July 23, 2024 |quote=The basis of a decent society is a happy home.
