More From Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

To those advocates of independent paper moneys who also champion the free market, i would address this simple question: "why don't you advocate the unlimited freedom of each individual to manufacture dollars?" if dollars are really and properly things-in-themselves, why not let everyone manufacture them as they manufacture wheat and baby food?
Baby Money Freedom
When white men first effect contact with some unspoilt race of savages, they offer them all kinds of benefits, from the light of the gospel to pumpkin pie. these, however, much as we may regret it, most savages receive with indifference. what they really value among the gifts that we bring to them is intoxicating liquor which enables them, for the first time in their lives, to have the illusion for a few brief moments that it is better to be alive than dead.
Regret Men Light
Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Love Passion Medicine
War! when i but think of this word, i feel bewildered, as though they were speaking to me of sorcery, of the inquisition, of a distant, finished, abominable, monstrous, unnatural thing. when they speak to us of cannibals, we smile proudly, as we proclaim our superiority to these savages. who are the real savages? those who struggle in order to eat those whom they vanquish, or those who struggle merely to kill?
Peace Real War
Never drink diet soda. it shows you have no nerve. only drink real colas, caffeine-packed energy drinks, or vitamin water. hate champagne because that’s what everyone expects you to love. energy drinks are the best party drinks. you never get tired, you never get a hangover, and you can make fun of all the loaded people who think they’re clever but are really acting stupid.
Clever Fun Hate
When we affect to condemn savages, we should remember that by doing so we asperse our own progenitors; for they were savages also.who can swear that among the naked british barbarians sent to rome to be stared at more than 1500 years ago, the ancestor of bacon might not have been found?--why, among the very thugs of india, or the bloody dyaks of borneo, exists the germ of all that is intellectually elevated and grand. we are all of us--anglo-saxons, dyaks and indians--sprung from one head and made in one image.
