Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
Don DeLillo
Image
I think that the massive, overarching, interconnected systems of technology tend to make us a little insecure, somewhat pliable, and susceptible to half-beliefs.
Don DeLillo
Image
In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic.
Don DeLillo
