Federal Obscenity Laws

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

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    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)

    Sweet Cupid’s shafts, like destiny,
    Doth causeless good or ill decree.
    Desert is born out of his bow,
    Reward upon his wing doth go.
    What fools are they that have not known
    That Love likes no laws but his own!
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
