Love & Passion Quote by Zsa Zsa Gabor

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s line lands like a champagne flute thrown at polite society: bright, brittle, and designed to shatter the pretense. “I know nothing about sex” is the setup, a prim little confession; “because I was always married” is the twist that flips respectability into innuendo. The joke isn’t just that marriage is supposedly sexless (the old sitcom groove), it’s that marriage is supposedly the sanctioned container for sex and she’s treating it as evidence of ignorance. That reversal is her real subject: the way public morality weaponizes marital status as proof of virtue while everyone knows it’s a performance.

Coming from Gabor - a Hollywood import who made celebrity itself her medium - the quote reads like brand maintenance as much as comedy. She cultivates the persona of the glamorous “bad girl” who can pass as proper on paper. The subtext is contractual: marriage as social camouflage, a legal alibi for desire, chaos, and curiosity. She’s winking at the audience’s complicity: we’re invited to laugh because we recognize the gap between the institution’s PR copy and lived experience.

Context matters: mid-century entertainment culture sold women as objects while demanding they remain “ladies.” Gabor navigates that double bind by making the bind the punchline. The sentence is a miniature of her whole public act - sex as commodity, marriage as shield, and wit as the knife that lets her control the cut.
