“There is truth in wine, but you never see it listed in the ingredients on the label”

“People in trailers were canned and labeled much like the apple juice down at the plant, stamped with ingredients for all the world to see: chicken fried steak, overcooked vegetables, no working knowledge of any major Italian movie directors--the list went on and on.”

“Would you buy potato chips that listed potato by-product or potato digest as an ingredient”

“It's bullshit. It's so easy to label people, to look at a list of symptoms and say, "This is who you are. This is what you are.”

“Is that what the wine is for? To help you think?""Oh, the wine. The wine, Costis, is to help hide the truth. It doesn't work. It never has, but I try it every once in a while just in case something in the nature of the wine might have changed.”

“There is a slight difference between collecting fifty wine labels and collecting fifty pinball machines.”
