Obscene Quotations
Women should be obscene and not heard. Groucho Marx The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.

It can only be denied. Susan Sontag The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame. Thomas Hobbes At male strip shows, it is still the women that we watch, the audience of women and their eager faces. They are more obscene than if they were dancing naked themselves. Jean Baudrillard Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Jock Sturges I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.

Jock Sturges I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene. Howard Stern It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great. Henry Ellis Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads. Georg C. Lichtenberg |
