The Club of Angels QUOTES

1 " It isn’t everyday that we want to see a syrupy Van Gogh or hear a piquant fugue by Bach, or make love to a succulent woman, but every day we want to eat; hunger is the recurring desire, the only recurring desire, for sight, sound, sex and power all come to an end, but hunger goes on, and while one might weary of Ravel for ever, one could only ever weary of ravioli for, at most, a day. "

― Luis Fernando Verissimo , The Club of Angels

2 " [A]ll gastronomic pleasure [is] a co-opted form of sexual desire. We interrupt the organic process of a plant or animal in order to eat it and we exhaust our own voluptuousness, our own perverted sexual desire, in the pleasure of eating. "

― Luis Fernando Verissimo , The Club of Angels

3 " Éramos tão vorazes, no começo, que qualquer coisa menos que o mundo equivaleria a um coito interrompido. "

― Luis Fernando Verissimo , The Club of Angels
