“Cojones: testicles; a valorous bull fighter is said to be plentifully equipped with these. In a cowardly bullfighter they are said to be absent.”

“On a ruinous wall I came upon a poster dating from the previous year and announcing that ‘six handsome bulls’ would be killed in the arena on such and such a date. How forlorn its faded colours looked. Where were the handsome bulls and the handsome bull-fighters now? It appeared that even in Barcelona there were hardly any bullfights nowadays - for some reason all the best matadors were Fascists.”

“A Puritan is not against bullfighting because of the pain it gives the bull, but because of the pleasure it gives the spectators.”

“That wasn't so bad. She said, dabbing at her mouth with a napkin. What was it?That was a Rocky Mountain oyster, also know as a Montana tendergroin.No. I just ate bull's balls?Only one, but yes, you just tore up a tasty testicle. Congratulations!”

“Bullfight critics, row on row, Fill the enormous Plaza de Toros; But only one is there who knows, And he is the one who fights the bull.”

“I’d rather be the fastest runner than the best fighter. But then I am a supreme coward.”
