I tell you honestly what I think is the cause of the complicated maladies of the human race: it is their gormandizing and stuffing, and stimulating their digestive organs to an excess, thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation. – John Abernethy (1764–1831)
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But mans appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table. – Honore de Balzac
I had never had a positive leading character – somebody that wasnt an antihero, or who wasnt more of a guy that youre supposed to be on the side of. – Gus Van Sant
