Some books

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

Certi libri si assaggiano, altri si divorano, pochissimi sono quelli che si riescono a masticare e digerire.

Sir Francis Bacon

Hola. Mi nombre es Inigo Montoya. Tu hai ucciso mi patre. Preparate a morir.

See how they run
See how they run
They all ran after the farmer’s wife
She cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life

Loving and giving

One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving.

Puoi dare senza amare, ma non puoi amare senza dare.
