“I wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant.

But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body and touch it, whatever it was.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.”
