Tom Lehrer Quotes About Books

Quotes about: Books

• The civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it, owing to the nature of the laws, as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on. But we know what's really involved, dirty books are fun. That's all there is to it. But you can't get up in a court and say that.

  Fun, Dirty, Book

• All books can be indecent books, though recent books are bolder.
  For filth, I'm glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder.
  When correctly viewed, everything is lewd.
  I could tell you things about Peter Pan
  and the Wizard of OZ, there's a dirty old man!

  Song: Smut, Album: That Was the Year That Was

• Speaking of love, one problem that recurs more and more frequently these days, in books and plays and movies, Is the inability of people to communicate with the people they love: husbands and wives who can't communicate, Children who can't communicate with their parents, and so on. And the characters in these books and plays and so on, And in real life, I might add, spend hours bemoaning the fact that they can't communicate. I feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up!
