Contortionism Quotes

Pornography's male-born explicitness renders visible what is invisible, woman's chthonic internality. It tries to shed Apollonian light on woman's anxiety-provoking darkness.

The banning of pornography, rightly sought by Judeo-Christianity, would be a victory over the west's stubborn paganism. But pornography cannot be banned, only driven underground, where its illicit charge will be enhanced. (Camille Paglia)
