Al Goldstein

“Pornography is the opiate of the masses.”

“I’m the First Amendment in the flesh.”

“I was the court jester of the sexual revolution.”

“The only way to deal with a subject like this is to be totally honest, and to be honest you have to be graphic.”

“The only thing left in my life is my rage.”

“I'm vulgar, I'm loud, I'm obscene, I'm everything that good people are not supposed to be.”

“Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one.”

“I believe in overkill. I believe in attacking.”

“My mission was to be the Lenny Bruce of publishing.”

“I've been a failure in everything but my fight for the First Amendment.”

“Humor is the only way I have of dealing with the absurdity of it all.”

“My life has been a cartoon. I've been a caricature of myself.”
