Djuna Barnes Quote

You beat the liver out of a goose to get a pâté; you pound the muscles of a man's cardia to get a philosopher.


Nightwood (1936)


You beat the liver out of a goose to get a pâté; you pound the muscles of a man's cardia to get a philosopher.

You beat the liver out of a goose to get a pâté; you pound the muscles of a man's cardia to get a philosopher.

You beat the liver out of a goose to get a pâté; you pound the muscles of a man's cardia to get a philosopher.

You beat the liver out of a goose to get a pâté; you pound the muscles of a man's cardia to get a philosopher.
