murakami quote of the month

A Wild Sheep Chase

"To sleep with a woman: it can seem of the utmost importance in your mind, or then again it can seem like nothing much at all. Which only goes to say that there's sex as therapy (self-therapy, that is) and there's sex as pastime."

-- by Haruki Murakami
