Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books.”

“And perhaps it is different for men than women. We don’t lose interest in sex the way women do. At least, I thought that’s how it was. Given what you’ve just told me, maybe it’s not that you don’t like sex, you just don’t like it with me.”
― Lucy Dawson, White Lies
