“What can I say? ... You never can predict. You never know about any one melon until you cut into it. You put in all the work, but you don't know until the last minute if you have a good crop.”
John Hand

African Proverb

Andrew Marvell
“Unless you're Shannon Hoon (of Blind Melon), dying is the only thing that guarantees a rock star will have a legacy that stretches beyond temporary relevance,”
Chuck Klosterman
“Some of the aromas you detect in sake are from the same chemicals you detect in wine -- melon, green apple, yeast. On the third or fourth day of brewing, it (the brewing sake) smells overwhelmingly of bananas.”
