Lying Together Secrecy

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.
Attitude Hate Dirty
Speaking of love, one problem that recurs more and more frequently these days, in books and plays and movies, is the inability of people to communicate with the people they love: husbands and wives who can't communicate, children who can't communicate with their parents, and so on. and the characters in these books and plays and so on, and in real life, i might add, spend hours bemoaning the fact that they can't communicate. i feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up!

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. similarly the soul becomes completely united with god.

The end of secrecy would be the end of the novel - especially the english novel. the english novel requires social secrecy, personal secrecy.
Would Be Social Secrecy
I have so fixed the habit in my own mind that i never raise a glass of water to my lips without a moment's asking of god's blessing. i never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal. i never take a letter from the post without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward. i never change classes in the section room without a minute's petition on the cadets who go out and those who come in.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Prayer Night Keys
I am working on three things: on being a prayerful person; on staying close to the handicapped; and on my writing. these are my constant concerns.
Writing Three Prayerful
When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' i find that help arrives somehow, from i know not where. supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. it is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.
Wise Spiritual Prayer
Humor is a prelude to faith and laughter is the beginning of prayer.
