Loss Innocence Penalties

More From Dodie Smith

The innocence of those who grind the faces of the poor, but refrain from pinching the bottoms of their neighbour's wives! the innocence of ford, the innocence of rockefeller! the nineteenth century was the age of innocence--that sort of innocence. with the result that we're now almost ready to say that a man is seldom more innocently employed than when making love.

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. for innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.

I come from the state of michigan. we were the first english-speaking government in the world to outlaw the death penalty, back in the 1840s. we have never had, as a state, the death penalty in michigan. i was raised with that, and even republicans in michigan, nobody would even think of putting a measure on the ballot to have the death penalty.

According to the l.a. times, attorney general john ashcroft wants to take "a harder stance" on the death penalty. what's a harder stance on the death penalty? we're already killing the guy? how do you take a harder stance on the death penalty? what, are you going to tickle him first? give him itching powder? put a thumbtack on the electric chair?

There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. and the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

Similar Quotes

It has been our experience that women usually prefer thin, undernourished, flatchested females, dressed to the teeth, as a concept of "feminine beauty" -- and that men prefer exactly the opposite: voluptuous, well-rounded and undressed. the women's idealization of woman is actually a male counterpart, competing with man in society; man's view of women is far more truly feminine.

We can be beautiful at all ages. feminine beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, ways.
