“For Spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both; so soft And uncompounded is their essence pure, Not tied or manacled with joint or limb, Nor founded on the brittle strength of bones, Like cumbrous flesh; but in what shape they choose Dilated or condensed, bright or obscure, Can execute their airy purposes, And works of love or enmity fulfil.” SpiritPurposeSexPleasePureShapesEssenceAssumingBonesFleshTiedObscureLimbsJointsEnmityAiryParadise Lost Book 9Paradise Lost Book 1 Author:John Milton
“An old body when it is loved becomes a sacred treasure; and sex itself must always, it seems to me, come to us as a sacrament and be so used or it is meaningless. The flesh is suffused by the spirit, and it is forgetting this in the act of love-making that creates cynicism and despair.” BodySeemsUsedSpiritSexForgetDespairSacredFleshTreasureMeaninglessCynicismSacramentsLove MakingActs Of Love Book:Recovering: A Journal Source: Recovering: A Journal
“The White Protestant's ultimate sympathy must be with science, factology, and committee rather than with sex, birth, heat, flesh, creation, the sweet and the funky; they must vote, manipulate, control, and direct, these Protestants who are the center of power in our land, they must go for what they believe is reason when it is only the Square logic of the past.” BelieveReasonPastSexWhiteLandCreationSweetBirthDirectLogicVoteUltimateFleshHeatSquaresCommitteesManipulateProtestantsProtestantismFunky Author:Norman Mailer
“When the devil makes his offer (always open incidentally) of the kingdoms of the earth, it is the bordellos which glow so alluringly to most of us, not the banks and the counting-houses and the snow-swept corridors of power . . . Sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society - in the beginning was the Flesh, and the Flesh became Word; with its own mysteries - this is my birth pill; swallow it in remembrance of me! - and its own sacred texts and scriptures - the erotica which fall like black atomic rain on the just and unjust alike, drenching us, stupefying us. To be carnally minded is life!” EarthFallHouseSexBlackMysteryBirthOffersDevilRainSacredFleshScriptureSnowKingdomsMysticismRemembranceUnjustPillsCountingMaterialisticCorridorsSacred Texts Author:Malcolm Muggeridge
