“This is the true wine of astonishment: "We are not over when we think we are.”

“When we are crushed like grapes, we cannot think of the wine we will become.”

“If all be true that i do think, There are fice reasons we should drink,Good wine- a friend - or being dry-Or lest we should be by and by-Or any other reason why.”

“There are no guarantees. But there is also nothing to fear. We come from oblivion when we are born. We return to oblivion when we die. The astonishing thing is this period of in-between.”

“What we need to question is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us. We live, true, we breathe, true; we walk, we go downstairs, we sit at a table in order to eat, we lie down on a bed on order to sleep. How? Where? When? Why?Describe your street. Describe another. Compare.”

“When we are overly concerned with what people think we will be controlled by the thoughts and opinions of other people.”
