"No fear can stand up to hunger, no patience can wear it out, disgust simply does not exist where hunger is; and as to superstition, beliefs, and what you may call principles, they are less than chaff in a breeze."
- Joseph Conrad
I recalled when I was younger in my teens, a friend named Karthik once asked me: "Alex, what's the greatest satisfaction you can have in life?" Being a teenager, raging hormones and all, I think I blurted out "Sex!"
His exact reply: "No, the greatest satisfaction you can have in life to to satisfy your hunger. That is better than sex." I was totally mystified and confounded then, and I went something like "Huh?? Are you sure?"
Those were the days when we were young and innocent.
