Amy Tan
If you want to take pictures of Chinese food, you have to taste real Chinese food. The flavors soak into your tongue, go into your stomach. The stomach is where your true feelings are. And if you take photos, these true feelings from your stomach can come out, so that everyone can taste the food just by looking at your pictures.
Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses

José Rizal
Maria Clara did not faint, simply because the Filipinos do not know how to faint.
José Rizal, Noli Me Tángere
