It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, there's a couple lying naked in bed reading Encyclopediea Brittannica to each other, and arguing about whether the Andromeda Galaxy is more 'numinous' than the Ressurection. Do they know how to have a good time, or don't they?

Carl Sagan
About This Quote

It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, there's couple laying in bed in one of the most beautiful places in the world arguing about what is more important in life. It's beautiful in that it's serene and tranquil. They are having a great time arguing about what is more important than anything else in their world, but they don't know how to have fun. They can't take their minds off of what they are arguing about to enjoy life. By the way, the Andromeda Galaxy is over 2 million light years away, so there is no real danger of them becoming bored with it any time soon.
