“How come,’ Big Angel said, ‘we never kissed?’
‘Kissed?’
‘Don’t families kiss?’
‘Like, brothers? Kissing?’
‘Why not?’
They pondered the new possibility.”

“The other thing he railed against, after 'Mexican time' and lame excuses, was bad teeth. Mexicans could not afford bad teeth if they expected gringos to take them seriously.”

“Do gringos kiss?’ Big Angel asked.
‘Some,’ Little Angel said. ‘I know guys. Kiss their dads.’
‘Everybody kisses moms, though.’
‘Kissing moms doesn’t count. It’s required.’
‘Right, right. If you don’t kiss your mom, forget it, man.’
‘Right? You don’t get to heaven if you don’t kiss your mom.”

“Scott Fitzgerald:
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
