Reblogging this because the original quote I put with it was so good and it bums me out to see it splashed across my dashboard as just a free-floating set of images.  C’mon people, read your Bataille!  

There is always some limit which the individual accepts. He identifies this limit with himself. Horror seizes him at the thought that this limit may cease to be. But we are wrong to take this limit and the individual’s acceptance of it seriously. The limit is only there to be overreached. Fear and horror are not the real and final reaction; on the contrary, they are a temptation to overstep the bounds.

We know that once we are conscious of it, we have to react to the desire ingrained in us to overstep the limits.  We want to overstep them, and the horror we feel shows to what excesses we shall be brought, excesses which, without the initial horror, would be unthinkable.

If beauty so far removed from the animal is passionately desired, it is because to possess is to sully, to reduce to the animal level.  Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.

— Georges Bataille, Erotism
