“hablaba del desasosiego de la clase trabajadora, de la infelicidad constante a pesar de cumplir con las expectativas, de hacer lo que se supone que uno debe hacer y, sin embargo, no tener nunca una sensación de plenitud. Morrissey cantaba sobre la insatisfacción que provocan los trabajos de mierda y la obligación de pagar facturas, sobre la alienación que causan las horas en la oficina y el poco espacio para disfrutar de los verdaderos placeres de la vida.”

“--You're rather well read for a working-class girl, she said with her back to me.
--Really? I've found that all my well-read friends are from the working class.
--Oh my. Why do you think that is? The purity of poverty?
--No. It's just that reading is the cheapest form of entertainment.
--Sex is the cheapest form of entertainment.
--Not in this house.”
