"(In northern Gaul territory) By Caesar’s time, the exchange rate had stabilized at a jar of wine for one slave, which, at least as far as the Romans were concerned, made for a fabulously profitable import-export business. The slaves could be sold on for a huge mark-up and provided manpower to enable more gallons of wine to be produced. The Gauls stayed sozzled and the merchants grew rich." Aug 07, 2025 08:09AM

Ernest Hemingway
“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden

David Foster Wallace
“Both destiny's kisses and its dope-slaps illustrate an individual person's basic personal powerlessness over the really meaningful events in his life: i.e. almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of Psst that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer.”
David Foster Wallace

Franz Kafka
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
Franz Kafka

Winston S. Churchill
“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
Winston S. Churchill

Kingsley Amis
“Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way.”
Kingsley Amis
