Fond

Famous quotes containing the word fond:

“Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)

“You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they’re simply unbearable.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

“I live on toasted lizards,
Prickly pears, and parrot gizzards,
And I’m really very fond of beetle-pie.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
