Antisocial sex and how to fight against it

Walter Ong finds [μια συγκεκριμένη γυναίκα] sexy, but "this is not a healthy sex directed toward marriage and family life, but an antisocial sex, made as alluring as possible while its normal term in marriage is barred by the ground rules."

“No,” I said. “You owe them nothing. Not your own self, your own body, your heart—”

“She brought me into the world.”

He raised a wounded hand and let it fall again. “My family comes first,” he said. “They’ll always come first. I know my duty. But what they’ll never understand, what you don’t understand, is that I do hurt, I do feel it, I do.” And he lifted that same hand and tapped his breastbone, right over the place where his heart constricted and dilated and shot the blood through his veins. “Here,” he said. “Here’s where I hurt.”

Money is corrupting the Corinthian ethos (ποιό;!) and making nonsense of competitive sport.

This whole event [το παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα ράγκμπυ] has been hyped up in a way that would be repellent if it weren't so ludicrous, culminating in the hilarious double-page Nike ad last Friday with the England team striking butch attitudes on the white cliffs of Dover under the caption "Not without a fight". As it happened, "without a fight" was just how England did go down to the Springboks that evening.

CHE GUEVARA AND FIDEL CASTRO, JANUARY 1959

The picture has a strange atmosphere because it's a time exposure, two or three seconds. The whole illumination is from the match when Fidel lit the cigar.

Προφανώς εννοεί ότι η μόνη ορατή πηγή φωτός είναι το σπίρτο. Αλλά η παράξενη ατμόσφαιρα οφείλεται στο άγνωστης προέλευσης φως.
