Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

It seems that it had been destined before that I should occupy myself so thoroughly with the vulture, for it comes to my mind as a very early memory, when I was still in the cradle, a vulture came down to me, he opened my mouth with his tail and struck me a few times with his tail against my lips.

Quest' is a romantic name for journey, and I think 'fire' is a word that has stimulating connotations for all of us.

I can trace every romance of my life back to a meal. My memories are enhanced by the tender morsels had at tables across from lovers, on blankets with friends who'd eventually become more, in banquets, barbecues, and breakfasts.

Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.

I cannot say for certain if there is such a thing as love at first sight, but I do know that the moment I first glimpsed Winnie Nomzamo, I knew that I wanted to have her as my wife.
