But fantasy kills imagination, pornography is death to art.

Summary

This quote suggests that engaging too much in fantasy and pornography can be detrimental to the cultivation of imagination and the creation of art. It implies that becoming absorbed in fantasies or explicit content may hinder one's ability to imagine and think creatively. By relying on constructed scenarios or explicit imagery, individuals may limit their own creative potential, as true art often flourishes when fueled by an imaginative and unrestricted mind.

If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.
