Do you want to make a tamale with peanut butter and jelly? Go Ahead! Somebody will eat it.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

I will be deafer than the blue-eyed cat, And thrice as blind as any noonday owl, To holy virgins in their ecstasies.

Listen, my friend. He who loves understands.

I'm a trained martial artist. My parents were both martial artists.

Perugia is my true fatherland because there I grew to manhood.

I laugh until I weep And weep until I smile

Put your money in your head, that way no one can take it from you.

Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe.
