2. “… the name of ‘wendol,’ or ‘windon,’ is a very ancient name, as old as any of the peoples of the North country, and it means ‘the black mist.’ To the Northmen, this means a mist that brings, under cover of night, black fiends who murder and kill and eat the flesh of human beings.” (Michael Crichton, The 13th Warrior)
Food
3. “Canned food is a perversion.” (John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces)

Fools
7. “Better remain silent and be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all possible doubt.” (Chinese proverb)
8. “Fools and their money are easily parted.” (Tobias G. Smollet, The Adventures of Roderick Random)
