“But fantasy kills imagination, pornography is death to art.”
Iris Murdoch book The Message to the Planet
The Message to the Planet (1989) p. 43.
“To imagine that trauma casts out fantasy is a dangerous mistake.”
Ellen Willis (1941–2006) writer, activist
"Dreaming of War," The Nation (15 October 2001)
Context: For a decade Americans have been steeped in the rhetoric of "zero tolerance" and the faith that virtually all problems from drug addiction to lousy teaching can be solved by pouring on the punishment. Even without a Commander in Chief who pledges to rid the world of evildoers, smoke them out of their holes and the like, we would be vulnerable to the temptation to brush aside frustrating complexities and relieve intolerable fear (at least for the moment) by settling on one or more scapegoats to crush. To imagine that trauma casts out fantasy is a dangerous mistake.
Vera Nazarian (1966) American writer
