Prostitution, although hounded, imprisoned, and chained,is nevertheless the greatest triumph of Puritanism.
(Emma Goldman)
Puritanism, in whatever expression, is a poisonous germ.On the surface everything may look strong and vigorous; yet the poison works its way persistently, until the entire fabric is doomed.
Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
(H.L.Mencken)
The objection to Puritans is not that they try to make us think as they do, but that they try to make us do as they think.
(Henry Louis Mencken)
A widespread taste for pornography means that nature is alerting us to some threat of extinction.
(C.S.Pierce)
