Real porn is not at all home videos about boys and girls, real porn is the latest computer gadgets, it is the slogans of cosmetic companies and fast food restaurants, it is expensive cars and cigarette advertising, scandals and gossip, public investigations against oligarchs and loud anti-corruption cases – this is real hardcore, which is crowned with collective bukkake from likes and comments in social networks. And the real porn is that those who don’t have it copy it, choking on saliva.

Lyubko Deresh, Devastation 

Quote from Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners

Saint Thomas Aquinas says, wisely, that the only way to drive out a bad passion is by a stronger good passion. The same is true of thoughts as of passions. When your mind wanders, like a child, your will must bring it back, like a mother. [. . .] The will-parent must discipline the mind-child, avoiding both the opposite extremes commonly made in disciplining either children or thoughts: tyranny or permissiveness.
