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.
In practice
During a discussion on media regulations at a film festival.
I can admire the solemn and stately language of worship that recognizes the greatness of God, but it will not warm my heart or express my soul until it has also blended therewith the joyful nearness of that perfect love that casts out fear and ventures to speak with our Father in heaven as a child speaks with its father on earth. My brother, no veil remains.
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight to see you smile, if only for a while to know you're there. A breath away's not far to where you are.
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Time cannot children,poets,lovers tell- measure imagine,mystery,a kiss -not though mankind would rather know than feel
Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.
