“Sex is what you can get. For some people, it’s the most important thing they can get without being born rich or smart or stealing. This is what life can give you that’s equal to others or better, even, that you don’t have to go to college for six years to get. And it’s not religion and it’s not science but you can explore it and learn things about yourself.”
Don DeLillo, Underworld (1998) p.297
