On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?
Interpretation
The quote highlights the absurdity of societal norms regarding media content, emphasizing a preference for violence over natural expressions of love.
Sharon Tate's quote points out the paradox in media regulations where violent acts are deemed acceptable for public consumption, while the natural act of love is censored. This reflects broader societal attitudes towards sex and violence, suggesting that the suppression of love in media creates an unhealthy dichotomy that fails to represent human experience authentically.

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.

That love of self, which the world advocates, is a thousand times more dangerous than any poison.

God gives us love! Something to love He lends us; but when love is grown To ripeness, that on which it throve Falls off, and love is left alone: This is the curse of time.
