And so I ask, “Would You agree that sex is where philosophy begins?” But God, who is the oldest of the philosophers, answers in his weary cryptic way, “Rather think of Sex as Time, and Time as the connection of new circuits.” - Norman Mailer Attribution: Norman Mailer (b. 1923), U.S. author. Sergius O’Shaugnessy, in The Deer Park, ch. 28, Putnam’s (1955).
