Quote by Henry Miller
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vita

Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadnt the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us. – Henry Miller

I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, Is it? Why? Why is it like that? Sometimes that questioning leads to something more. – Alice Englert
