Quote by George Steiner
Pornographers subvert this last, vital privacy; they do our imagining for us. They take away the words that were of the night and shout them over the roof-tops, making them hollow.
Summary
This quote suggests that pornography not only invades our personal privacy, but also hinders our ability to imagine and explore our own desires and fantasies. By presenting explicit content on a public platform, pornography robs us of the intimate and personal nature that once belonged to our thoughts and fantasies. It strips away the depth and meaning of these experiences, turning them into superficial and hollow representations that are shouted into the world, rather than cherished in the privacy of our own minds.
