Acquisition Quote by John Green

“Sexuality is important, but it's certainly not the most interesting…” quote by John Green — Download Open image

“Sexuality is important, but it's certainly not the most interesting or important thing happening to you right now. We live in a world that tells us that there are only two important things. One is the acquisition of goods and the other is either the acquisition or avoidance of sex, but it turns out that the question of who's a virgin and who's a virgout is not the most interesting question.”
