Geniuses must never die, the progress of mankind depends on us

Who knows how to taste wine never drinks wine again, but tastes secrets instead

To be interesting, one has to provoke.

Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it.

The famous soft watches are nothing else than the tender, extravagant, solitary, paranoic-critical camembert oftime and space.
