I eat like a ordsprog

en I eat like a vulture. Unfortunately the resemblance doesn't end there.
  Groucho Marx

en Our last act of charity was with the vulture. That's the tradition that we have grown up to follow, and that tradition has come under threat. When you look at most cultures, the vulture's seen as a scavenger, in a very negative light, whereas to us the vulture's a religious bird because it's... performing a religious service.

en I would often spot 25 vulture nests on this road as I came into work. They were as common as crows - no one even bothered to count them. The trees are still there, the habitat is still there, but the birds are not. If you look at the Delhi skies now you don't see a single vulture.

en It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we all take our looks; we still share genes around, and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is in fact a family resemblance. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness.
  Lewis Thomas

en God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus makes him a Prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart for ever; that vulture the very creature he creates.

en Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many chances as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHIN
  Bill Gates

en It is impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system of capitalism needs some blood to suck. Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it's more like a vulture. It used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody's blood whether they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless. As the nations of the world free themselves, the capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It's only a matter of time in my opinion before it will collapse completely.
  Malcolm X

en My mother only called when she wanted things. She doesn't know me, so how could she have a feeling for me? Still, I see her each time I pass a mirror. The resemblance shocks me. Someday I'll go back to make a new stab at a relationship, but not yet. Happily, her approval is no longer necessary. No one's is. I'm no longer driven to prove I'm worthy. That war is over, even if there are still days when I have to do battle.
  Anita Baker
