—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The urge for Chinese food is always unpredictable: famous for no occasion, standard fare for no holiday, and the constant as to demand is either whim, the needy plebiscite of instantly famished drunks, or pregnancy.”
