Let children come across good as well as bad things. MTV is unnecessarily criticised for dishing out obscenity.
Asha Bhosle
Obscenity is whatever happens to shock some elderly and ignorant magistrate.
Bertrand Russell
It's true that obscenity is a matter of taste and in the eye of the beholder.
Christopher Hitchens
Obscenity comes from grime.
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.
D. H. Lawrence
Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another.
Herbert Marcuse
I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in.
Jane Alexander
Commercial speech is like obscenity... we can't seem to define it, but we know it when we see it.
Jef I. Richards
And I think there's something about conservatives frankly - and the Left, when it comes to their channels of persuasion, are unpersuasive. They are, most of them are hate-filled, obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred.
Karl Rove
I know who Cristiano Ronaldo is and he's a gorgeous looking guy. It would be an obscenity for him even to look at me as anything else but a mother figure while of course it is perfectly OK for me to look at him as a man.
Lady Colin Campbell
In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that individual communities should set obscenity standards. Whenever a case is tried, it will be based on a community standard for that particular place.
Larry Flynt
Politicians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone.
Maya Angelou
Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
As far as I am concerned, the whiners of Wall Street and the political pundits, power players, and the swarms of sycophantic, sound-bite-spewing sewage rats that surround them can stuff it. They are the wrong stuff, and their self-glorification is an obscenity. No matter what they say of themselves, they are not that important.
Rick Tumlinson
You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.
Roman Polanski
The world today is so full of violence, obscenity, war, the failure of political systems. I try to make movies that make people a bit more confident. But that doesn't mean being sugary.
