“Yes, the highest things are beyond words. That is probably why all art aspires to the condition of wordlessness. When literature works on you, it does so in silence, in your dreams, in your wordless moments. Good words enter you and become moods, become the quiet fabric of your being. Like music, like painting, literature too wants to transcend its primary condition and become something higher. Art wants to move into silence, into the emotional and spiritual conditions of the world. Statues become melodies, melodies become yearnings, yearnings become actions.” WorldWantDoeArtMomentsDreamActionSpiritualMovingLiteratureSilenceConditionsEmotionalPaintingHigherQuietHighestMoodPrimariesYour DreamsMelodyYearningFabricAspireStatuesGood Words Author:Ben Okri

“Masturbation is not physically necessary. There is already a way by which the male system relieves excessive spermatic fluid quite regularly through the nocturnal emission or wet dream. Monthly menstrual flow expels the female's egg and cleanses the womb. For both sexes, physical or emotional tensions can be released by vigorous activity. Thus, in a biological sense, masturbation for either gender is not necessary. In a gospel sense, it is a sin: Masturbation, a rather common indiscretion, is not approved of the Lord...regardless of what may have been said by others whose 'norms' are lower.” WayMayHas BeensSaidDreamSexSinCommonLordEmotionalActivityFemaleFlowMalesGenderTensionEggsWetNormWombFluidVigorousEmissionsApprovedMasturbationNocturnalWet Dreams Author:Spencer W.
