help me find a reference

March 4, 2008 6:10 AM

Please help me reference a literary quote?

"god=love=money=shit"*. Where did I read that? In what book?? Driving me crazy and to be honest, and its far too long winded to explain, but remembering this might get me laid. (Which almost justifies the askmefi joining cost I reckon...)

* might have been written as "god equals love equals money equals shit" but my memory has played tricks on me for far too long now to accurately recall.

It might have been helpful to provide the actual, you know, answer: Alasdair Gray's novel Kelvin Walker.

Sorry, I guess. The asker seemed to find my response helpful.

No problem, I wasn't saying you were evil and should be suppressed, just that as helpful as your URL was, it would have been even more helpful to put the answer here, so anyone who googled looking for the same quote would find it and wouldn't have to copy and paste your URL. (Not to mention that Google Books might go down or that some people don't seem to be able to access it.)
