Help Me Choose an E-Mail Signature
Once again, I'm out of the loop.
All of the e-mails I get from powerful members of the wine industry now have signature quotes about wine. These quotes are usually from famous political or literary figures and evoke the poetry and beauty of wine.
Please help me get an e-mail signature line.
I have decided to use a quote from Kahlil Gilbran, my favorite author. Here are the final nominees.
- And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distills a poison in the wine.
- You drink wine that you may be intoxicated; and I drink that it may sober me from that other wine.
- Frogs may bellow louder than bulls, but they cannot drag the plough in the field nor turn the wheel of the winepress
- The first time He was asking a policeman not to take a prostitute to prison; the second time He was drinking wine with an outcast; and the third time He was having a fist-fight with a promoter inside a church.
- Once a man sat at my board and ate my bread and drank my wine and went away laughing at me.
- Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave, eats a bread it does not harvest, and drinks a wine that flows not from its own winepress.
- Did that yearning make me see her as the most beautiful woman under the sun? Or was I intoxicated with the wine of youth which made me fancy that which never existed.?
- Methinks I see with my third eye the fragrance of this wine hovering in space like a cloud of birds in an enchanted forest.
- And in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyards for the wine
press, say in your heart, "I too am a vineyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress,
- Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
- I am the lover's eyes, and the spirit's wine, and the heart's nourishment. I move boxes.
