Chocolate and money
«If I like chocolate it won’t surprise you that I have a few
chocolates in my fridge, but if you find out I’ve got 16 warehouses full of
chocolate, you’d think I was insane. All these rich guys are insane, obsessive
compulsive twits obsessed with money — money is all they think about — they’re
all nuts».
(John Cleese)

When truly human
Ὠς χαρίεν ἔστʹ
ἄνθρωπος, ὅταν ἄνθρωπος ᾗ
Qual cosa fine è l’uomo, quand’egli è davvero
uomo.
What a fine thing a
human is, when truly human!
(Menandro, frammento 761)
