Thomas Pynchonchon, Gravity's Rainbow
"It's true,' Vanya now, 'look at the forms of capitalist expression. Pornographies: pornographies of love, erotic love, Christian love, boy-and-his-dog, pornographies of sunsets, pornographies of killing, and pornographies of deduction--ahh, that sigh when we guess the murderer--all these novels, these films and songs they lull us with, they're approaches more comfortable and less so, to that Absolute Comfort.' A pause to allow Rudi a quick and sour grin. 'The self-induced orgasm."

"صحيح، قال فانيا الآن، انظر إلى أشكال التعبير الرأسمالي. إباحيات: إباحيات الحب، الحب الشبقي، الحب المسيحي، الصبي وكلبه، إباحيات الغروب، إباحيات القتل، وإباحيات الاستنتاج – آه، تلك التنهيدة عندما نخمن القاتل – كل هذه الروايات، هذه الأفلام والأغاني التي يخدّروننا بها، هي مقاربات، بعضها مريح وبعضها أقل راحة، لذلك الراحة المطلقة. توقف ليسمح لرودي بابتسامة سريعة وساخرة. النشوة الذاتية."
