“Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.”

“A widespread taste for pornography means that nature is alerting us to some threat of extinction.”

“Pornography is human imagination in tense theatrical action; its violations are a protest against the violations of our freedom by nature.”

“There's a subterranean impetus towards pornography so powerful that half the business world is juiced by the sort of half sex that one finds in advertisements.”

“There's only one good test of pornography. Get twelve normal men to read the book, and then ask them, ''Did you get an erection?'' If the answer is ''Yes'' from a majority of the twelve, then the book is pornographic.”

“Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.”

“Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life.”

“The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion.”

“Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.”

“To shoot a man because one disagrees with his interpretation of Darwin or Hegel is a sinister tribute to the supremacy of ideas in human affairs -- but a tribute nevertheless.”

“The age of the book is almost gone.”
