“What rot, I could hear Brett say it. What rot! When you were with the English you got into the habit of using English expressions in your thinking. The English spoken language â€� the upper classes, anyway â€� must have fewer words than the Eskimo. Of course I didn’t know anything about the Eskimo. Maybe the Eskimo was a fine language. Say the Cherokee. I didn’t know anything about the Cherokee, either. The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything. I liked them, though. I liked the way they talked.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

“I once tried drowning my sorrows, till I found out they could swim.”

“What you lose as you age is witnesses, the ones that watched from early on and cared, like your own little grandstand.”
