    Henry Miller, interviewed by George Wickes (1962)

    ekstasis:

    mkarmstr:

    INTERVIEWER: Didn’t you say somewhere, “I am for obscenity and against pornography”?

    MILLER: Well, it’s very simple. The obscene would be the forthright, and pornography would be the roundabout. I believe in saying the truth, coming out with it cold, shocking if necessary, not disguising it.… In other words, obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk.
