[T]he ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in, becoming narcissistic.

What is obscenity? And to whom?

Obscenity is whatever happens to shock some elderly and ignorant magistrate.

It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the Courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate."

Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war.

Obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk.

To live without duties is obscene.

Chastity: The most unnatural of the sexual perversions.

Inhumanity is the keynote of stupidity in power.

Indifference of every kind is reprehensible, even indifference towards one’s self.

Pornography and obscenity...work by specialism and fragmentation. They deal with a figure without a ground -- situations in which the human factor is suppressed in favor of sensations and kicks.

Translation: Nothing conveys the feeling of infinity as much as stupidity does.

There is nothing more hideous than excessive refinement (in food, dress, lifestyle, etc.)

What is obscene about pornography is not an excess of sex, but the fact that it contains no sex at all.
