“A connoisseur of gastronomy was congratulated on his appointment as a director of indirect contributions at Periguex: and, above all, in the pleasure there would be in living in the midst of good cheer, in the country of truffles, partridges, truffled turkeys, and so forth. "Alas!" replied with a sigh the sad gastronomer, "can one really live at all in a country where there is no fresh sea-fish?"” CountryWould BePleasureSeaFoodDirectorsFishesContributionMidstCheerSighAlasTurkeysAppointmentsIndirectConnoisseurGood CheerTruffles Author:Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

“In the name of sense, man, if God made fish to be eaten, what difference does it make if I enjoy the killing of them before I eat them? You would have none but a fisherman by trade do it, and then you would have him utter a sigh, a prayer, and a pious ejaculation at each cod or haddock that he killed.” IfsMenDoeMadeNamesEnjoyDifferencesPrayerSeaRiversTradeKillingFishesBoatLakesFishingSighPiousFishermanEjaculation Book:I Go A-fishing Source: I Go A-fishing
“When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swoln face? And wilt thou have a reason for this coil? I am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow! She is the weeping welkin, I the earth: Then must my sea be moved with her sighs; Then must my earth with her continual tears Become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd: For why my bowels cannot hide her woes, But like a drunkard must I vomit them. Then give me leave, for losers will have leave To ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues.” IfsGivingReasonBigsEarthFacesHeavenSeaTearsWindGive MeMadMovedBlowTongueRageBitterEaseLoserThreateningWoeSighWeepingOverflowDrunkardsBowelsDeluge Author:William Shakespeare

“Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running—that's the way to live. All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach by the sigh of the sea out there, with the Ma-Wink fallopian virgin warm stars reflecting on the outer channel fluid belly waters. And if your cans are redhot and you can't hold them in your hands, just use good old railroad gloves, that's all.” IfsWayUseHandsRunningHappinessStarsWaterDarkFireSeaSingingRedWineWarmBeachSandSwimVirginsSighBellyJumpingReflectingFluidGlovesWay To LiveAll AloneRailroadsShortsDharma Bums Book:The Dharma Bums Source: The Dharma Bums
