“What is food to one, is to others bitter poison.”
“Fine food is poison. It can be as bitter as antimony and bitter almonds and as repulsive as swallowing live toads. Like the poison the emperor took every day to stop himself being poisoned, fine food must be taken daily until the system becomes immune to its ravages and the taste buds beaten and abused to the point where they not only accept but savour every vile concoction under the sun.”
“Bitterness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
“theology is to religion what poisons are to food”
“Not all poisonous juices are burning or bitter nor is everything which is burning and bitter poisonous.”
“Poisonous dreams make for bitter realities.”
