Roger Scruton Quotes

One Cure For The Pain Of Desecration Is The Move Towards Total PROFANATION: In Other Words, To Wipe Out All Vestiges Of Sanctity From The Once Worshipped Object, To Make It Merely A Thing OF The World, And Not Just A Thing IN The World, Something That Is Nothing Over And Above The Substitutes That Can At Any Time Replace It. That Is What We See In The Spreading Addiction To Pornography - A Profanation That Removes The Sexual Bond Entirely From The Realm Of Intrinsic Values. It Involves Wiping Out One Area In Which The Idea Of The Beautiful Had Taken Root, So As To Protect Ourselves From The Possibility Of Love It And Therefore Losing It.
