“Prosperity's the very bond of love.”
“Prosperity, alas! is often but another name for pride.”
Source: Select poems
“Prosperity, pleasure and success, may be rough of grain and common in fibre, but sorrow is the most sensitive of all created things. There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation. The thin beaten-out leaf of tremulous gold that chronicles the direction of forces the eye cannot see is in comparison coarse. It is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it, and even then must bleed again, though not in pain.”

“Prosperity: that condition which attracts the lively interest of lawyers, and warrants your being sued for damages, or indicted, or both.”

“Prospero próspero: a cada dia eu acordo de um coma diferente.”

“Prospero the Enchanter's immediate reaction upon meeting his daughter is a simple declaration of: "Well, fuck.”

“PROSPERO: Veseo budi. Naša zabava
Svršena je sada. Naši su igrači
Duhovi bili, i iščezli su sad
U nevidljivi vazduh. Ko nesuštastveno
Tkivo te vizije, tako će i kule
Visoke, i divni dvorci, i svečani
Hramovi, i sama lopta zemljina,
I sve na njoj, nestati ko ova
Iščezla, nestvarna povorka, i neće
Za sobom nikakav ostaviti trag.
Mi smo građa od koje se prave
Snovi, i naš mali život nam je snom
Zaokružen. (...)”
“Prospero, you are the master of illusion.
Lying is your trademark.
And you have lied so much to me
(Lied about the world, lied about me)
That you have ended by imposing on me
An image of myself.
Underdeveloped, you brand me, inferior,
That s the way you have forced me to see myself
I detest that image! What’s more, it’s a lie!
But now I know you, you old cancer,
And I know myself as well.”

“Prosperous families lead to prosperous nations.”
Source: The Wealth Reference Guide: An American Classic
“Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.”
“Prosperous non-white nations such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea would be very desirable destinations for Third-World immigrants, and if those countries opened their borders, they would quickly be filled with foreigners. They keep their borders closed because they know they cannot have the same Japan or Taiwan with different people. Israel, likewise, is determined to remain a Jewish state because Israelis know they cannot have the same Israel with different people. In 2010, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved tough measures to deport illegal immigrants, calling them a “threat to the character of the country.”
Linguistically, culturally, and racially, Japan is homogeneous. This means Japanese never even think about a host of problems that torment Americans. Since Japan has only one race, no one worries about racism. There was no civil rights movement, no integration struggle, and no court-ordered busing. There is no bilingual education, and no affirmative action. There is no tyranny of “political correctness,” and no one is clamoring for a “multi-cultural curriculum.” When a company needs to hire someone, it doesn’t give a thought to “ethnic balance;” it just hires the best person. No Japanese are sent to reeducation seminars because of “insensitivity.”
Japan has no Civil Rights Commission or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It has no Equal Housing Act or Voting Rights Act. No one worries about drawing up voting districts to make sure minorities are elected. There are no noisy ethnic groups trying to influence foreign policy. Japanese do not know what a “hate crime” would be. And they know that an American-style immigration policy would change everything. They want Japan to remain Japanese. This is a universal view among non-whites. Those countries that send the largest numbers of emigrants to the United States—Mexico, India, China—permit essentially no immigration at all. For them, their nations are exclusive homelands for their own people.
Most people refuse to share their homelands. Robert Pape, a leading expert on suicide bombing, explains that its motive is almost always nationalism, not religious fanaticism. Whether in Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Chechnya, Kashmir, the West Bank, Iraq, or Afghanistan, its main objective is to drive out occupying aliens.
It is only Western nations—and only within the last few decades—that have ever voluntarily accepted large-scale immigration that could reduce the inhabitants to a racial minority. What the United States and other European-derived nations are doing is without historical precedent.”

“Prosthetics can fix physical disabilities. But no prosthetic can fix an amputated spirit.”

“Prosthetics just felt very foreign to me: You wear them on your shoulders, strap them to your chest, and they're heavy and uncomfortable. If someone gave you a hug, you'd miss that touch. They were more like a cage for me.”
“Prostia este o suferinta nedureroasa a inteligentei.”

“prostii zidesc lumea si desteptii o darama”
“Prostitutes are in no danger of finding their present life so satisfactory that they cannot turn to God: the proud, the avaricious, the self-righteous, are in that danger.”

“Prostitutes are the inevitable product of a society that places ultimate importance on money, possessions, and competition.”
“Prostitutes don't sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married.”
“Prostitutes dress obviously, so as to draw attention. It's their business, isn't it? The last thing that a Christian woman is thinking of is being like a prostitute.”
“Prostitutes go to heaven. It's their clients that go to hell.”
“Prostitutes go to jail. Their customers go home and read the New York Times. In this country you're allowed to buy anything. If you need a shirt, you have a right to buy it. If you need sex, you don't. What's more important, sex or a shirt?”
“Prostitutes have feelings; they are very human. They hurt, bleed cry and laugh just like you and me. To the people that want to legalize prostitution: Let me ask you a question. If you want to legalize it, would you now let your daughter/niece/grand daughter/sister do this? Why not sign them up for what you want legalized? And if not, WHY not? Does it make them too human for you now?”
“Prostitutes hire out one tiny portion of their bodies. Employees sell countless huge portions of their lives.”
“Prostitutes, more than any other profession, help keep American marriages together.”
“PROSTITUTION – AN ACT OF SEX (A POEM) BY E.T.H…AINA
Hey young girl,
Why do you want sex often and often?
Oh! Dogs ate your placenta!
And now your clitoris is always itchy.
Hey little bro, why is your penis always nodding
Like a read headed agama lizard?
And you always want to insert it somewhere.
Lemme open your eyes to some things.
Girlie, to you, prostitution is just a practice
Of engaging in sexual relations for payment or benefits.
Hear this, prostitution is sexual harassment,
Sexual exploitation, often worse.
You become in your mind what your client does or says.
It is internally damaging and disgraceful as he uses you to learn various sex patterns
What he can’t do with the girl he truly loves.
From Backstairs Boogy to Deep Impact, from the Head Game to Arc de Triomp
And from Ladder Loving to the Pinwheel, from Electric Slide to Passion Propeller
He uses you like a public convenience – a toilet
After all, he pays for your ungodly service.
After being used as a sex-slave,
You’ll still suffer spiritually – what a pity.
Girl, remember when the act of sex takes place,
There is a spiritual union.
Brotherly, hear this, he that has sex with a prostitute
Becomes one body with her.
He leaves a part of his DNA in her.
Something a condom can’t protect you against.
Back to you, young girl.
You think sex is just pleasurable
You moan – f**k me hard, give it to me, Baby
Oh, I’m enjoying it.
Oh, I’ve almost reached orgasm
Then you cum and he cums – loba’tan!
You think it’s over, right?
You may not know – but he might
be using you to enhance his wealth
And your insufficient glory is depleting.
Bro, you have done it, ten rounds. Champion!
But what has gone out of you
If only you have a spiritual eye – then you will be sober.
Your sperm has been saved inside a black and red ritual calabash
She will use it to boost her fame. Bro, it is finished!
Wait, you think it is over, right?
What if you contract diseases – chlamydia, HIV and AIDS
If things fall apart, you tend to suffer on earth
And fire will burn you in heaven.
Na me talk ham – so, think ham oooo

“Prostitution and robbery are two living protests, respectively female and male, made by the natural state against the social state.”
“Prostitution arrests are racist. They have always been racist. In 1866, San Francisco police arrested 137 women, 'virtually all Chinese'; the police boasted that they had 'expelled three hundred Chinese women.' In the 1970s, the American Civil Liberties Union found that black women were seven times more likely to be arrested for prostitution-related offenses than white women. This disparity is no relic of the past: between 2012 and 2015, 85 percent of people charged with 'loitering for the purpose of prostitution' in New York City were Black or Latinx- groups that only make up 54 percent of the city's population. Increases in prostitution enforcement mean increases in the arrests of women of color. Between 2012 and 2016, the New York Police Department stepped up enforcement mean increases in the arrest of women of color. Between 2012 and 2016, the New York Police Department stepped up enforcement targeting massage parlors. As journalist Melissa Gira Grant details, during this period the arrests of Asian people in New York charged either with 'unlicensed massage' or prostitution went up by 2,700 percent. Arrests on the street target Black and Latina women - who may not even be selling sex - simply for wearing 'tight jeans' or a crop top. The NYPD do not arrest white women in affluent areas of the city for wearing jeans.”
“Prostitution gives her an opportunity to meet people. It provides fresh air and wholesome exercise, and it keeps her out of trouble.”

“Prostitution happens to you because of troubles you had. In reality no woman would choose to do that.”
“Prostitution in the towns is like the cesspool in the palace; take away the cesspool and the palace will become an unclean and evil smelling-place.”
“Prostitution is a crime committed by the economy against the woman and by Mother Nature against the man.”
“Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it's run illegally by dirt-bags who are criminals. If it's legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be far better.”
“Prostitution is not a profession, it is the result of sexism and gender oppression.”
“Prostitution is not exactly a reputable business over there either, even though the girls actually have to pay taxes on their earnings, and submit to regular health check ups. Even the prostitutes have universal healthcare over there. The benefit of legal prostitution is obvious: tax income for the city, healthier girls, and safety. In Amsterdam, each girl has an alarm button next to her bed that she can press if one of her "customers" tries to rape or hurt her. The police will arrive within minutes and protect the girl from harm.”

“Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply. Prostitution testifies to the amoral power struggle of sex, which religion has never been able to stop. Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.”

“Prostitution is really the only crime in the penal law where two people are doing a thing mutually agreed upon and yet only one, the female partner, is subject to arrest.”
Source: The prostitution papers:
“Prostitution is said to be the world's oldest profession. It is, indeed, a model of all professional work: the worker relinquishes control over himself... in exchange for money. Because of the passivity it entails, this is a difficult and, for many, a distasteful role.”
“Prostitution is the admission of the fact that in some cases all the man wants from the woman is sex; and/or all the woman wants from the man is money.”
“Prostitution is the art of separating the vagina from the woman, and the man from the money.”
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world's goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
“Prostitution is the relationship or marriage without the romance, commitment, promises, lies, etc.… and the mattering of the man’s sexual performance.”
“Prostitution is the supreme triumph of capitalism. When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women, for the moral tarring and feathering they give indigenous women who have had the bad luck to live in what they make their humping ground.”
“Prostitution isn't illegal to protect women. Prostitutes would be much safer if it was legal. It's illegal to protect men. Men are addicted to sex. Sex is like heroin to men. If all women were allowed to charge admission to their pussy, they would have total control over men and it would cause a giant wealth transfer. Men would go broke and women would end up with all the money and power.”

“Prostitution ist Sexualität, die den Bedingungen des Marktes und damit der Nachfrage und den Kundenwünschen unterliegt. Ja, vielleicht gibt es Frauen, die einzelne Kunden oder Praktiken nicht machen müssen. Aber dann verdienen sie auch kein Geld. Der Markt bestimmt, was angeboten wird. Die Frau kann sich dem anpassen oder leer ausgehen: Bietet sie französisch ohne Gummi an oder nicht? Zungenküsse ja oder nein? Anal ja oder eher nicht? Je nachdem wie sie sich entscheidet, verdient sie mehr oder weniger. Irgendeinen Freier wird sie machen müssen und irgendeine Anpassung an die Kundenwünsche hinsichtlich der Praktiken wird stattfinden müssen. Freie Sexualität findet in der Prostitution nicht statt.”

“Prostitution means sexual intercourse between a man and a woman aimed at satisfying the man's sexual and the woman's economic needs. It is obvious that sexual needs, even in a male dominated system, are not as urgent and important as economic needs which, if not satisfied, lead to disease and death. Yet society considers the woman's economic need as less vital than the man's sexual one.”

“Prostitution myths justify the existence of prostitution, promote misinformation about prostitution, and contribute to a social climate that exploits and harms not only prostituted women but all women.”
“Prostitution presents a moral, economic and social problem that cannot be resolved juridically.”
“Prostitution reinforces all the old dumb clichés about women's sexuality; that they are not built to enjoy sex and are little more than walking masturbation aids, things to be done to, things so sensually null and void that they have to be paid to indulge in fornication, that women can be had, bought, as often as not sold from one man to another. When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women.”
“Prostitution requires for its diminution not only laws, well enforced, to abolish the traffic in womanhood; not only better social protection against harpies who seduce young girls seeking an honest livelihood; not only better chaperonage of young girls in exposed occupations; not only better opportunities for natural enjoyment of youthful pleasure under morally safe conditions; not only these - but most of all, greater power on the part of the average young girl to earn her own support under right conditions and for a living wage.”
