Quote by D.H. Lawrence

“Yes, I do believe in something. I believe in being warm-hearted. I believe especially in being warm-hearted in love, in fucking with a warm heart. I believe if men could fuck with warm hearts, and the women take it warm-heartedly, everything would come all right. It's all this cold-hearted fucking that is death and idiocy.”

“The porn films are not about sex. Sex is airbrushed and digitally washed out of the films. There is no acting because none of the women are permitted to have what amounts to a personality. The one emotion they are allowed to display is an unquenchable desire to satisfy men, especially if that desire involves the women’s physical and emotional degradation. The lightning in the films is harsh and clinical. Pubic hair is shaved off to give the women the look of young girls or rubber dolls. Porn, which advertises itself as sex, is a bizarre, bleached pantomime of sex. The acts onscreen are beyond human endurance. The scenarios are absurd. The manicured and groomed bodies, the huge artificial breasts, the pouting oversized lips, the erections that never go down, and the sculpted bodies are unreal. Makeup and production mask blemishes. There are no beads of sweat, no wrinkle lines, no human imperfections. Sex is reduced to a narrow spectrum of sterilized dimensions. It does not include the dank smell of human bodies, the thump of a pulse, taste, breath—or tenderness. Those in films are puppets, packaged female commodities. They have no honest emotion, are devoid of authentic human beauty, and resemble plastic. Pornography does not promote sex, if one defines sex as a shared act between two partners. It promotes masturbation. It promotes the solitary auto-arousal that precludes intimacy and love. Pornography is about getting yourself off at someone else’s expense.”

“When it’s freezing out, I catch myself daydreaming… I imagine owning a tiny café somewhere warm and beachy. Nothing fancy… just beautiful simplicity… open mornings only… a few tables… some coffee, tea, and the familiar faces of family, friends, and neighbors drifting in for conversation, laughter, and a little moment of peace before the day pulls us into whatever comes next. It’s a simple dream… but you know how I feel about simplicity… it’s magical. It feels good. It feels good because there’s something powerful about keeping a small circle of soul-enriching people close. It feels good because there’s something comforting about starting the day with simplicity instead of noise. Life moves fast. But in this simple daydream of mine, I’m reminded that I don’t need much to feel grounded… Just warmth, presence, and a community environment that feels uplifting for my soul and my health. It’s funny how the smallest visions can make the world feel lighter. Here’s to daydreams… and slowly, quietly, steadily bringing pieces of them to life. Cheers to mornings that feel like a gentle reset… A reminder that the best parts of life... the real ones... are often the simplest.”
