Obscenity

“But implicit in the history of the First Amendment is the rejection of obscenity as utterly without redeeming social importance.”

“When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man. … there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.”

“We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!”

“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.”

“Obscenity is whatever happens to shock some elderly and ignorant magistrate.”
