Federal Obscenity Laws

Famous quotes containing the words federal, obscenity and/or laws:

    Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art—or almost the only stuff.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
