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

After Freaks and Geeks, I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks, every single mole on my body.
