O spolnosti

 

"Zato ogromen del kristjanov prakticira spolnost zunaj omejenih krščanskih norm. Če začnemo z mastrubiranjem, spolnimi fantazijami, slo, predzakonskim seksom, z ljudmi, ki ostanejo samski... Religija se spopada s spolnostjo zato, ker ta predstavlja način za nadzor, obvladovanje ljudi. Tudi vse zahodne vlade se tako ali drugače ukvarjajo s področjem spolnosti. Pa tudi vse druge religije, od židovske do pravoslavne... Če ne bi postavljale pravil v zvezi s splonostjo, bi imeli ljudje v svojih rokah strašansko moč. Religija in vlade so prepričane, da morajo imeti moč na življenjem ljudi. Ne rečem, da ne tudi v pozitivnem smislu. Toda kaj počno? Ljudem vzamejo oblast nad lastnimi življenji, jim dopovedo, da ne morejo biti sodniki lastne spolnosti in da bodo o njej sodili oni. Ko jih prepričajo, da je njihovo dojemanje spolnosti nekaj slabega, nadaljujejo: "Poglejte, res obupno nujno potrebujemo religijo, sicer boste prakticirali spolnost na slab način in boste večno ogreli v peklu!" Vsak iskren vernik seveda reče, da se noče cvreti v peklu, in obljubi, da bo strog do lastne spolnosti".

O ljubezni v starosti:

 

"Kako je pri tebi Sofokles, z ljubeznijo? Ali še lahko občuješ z žensko?"

 

"Molči človek " je odvrnil pesnik. "Vesel sem da je to za mano . Tako mi je kakor da bi pobegnil divjemu, pobesnelemu gospodarju. "

 

Platon, Država, 1. knj.

 

[lia]

Tak je to, če si slab gospodar. Ako slabo poseješ, slabo zalivaš , okopavaš.V jeseni tudi požet nimaš kaj, kamoli se sladkat ob žlahtnem vinu .

Nespametnemu gospodarju je premoženje poguba in vsako vino samo kis rata Dober gospodar pa v pozno starost uživa sadove.
