"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."
Ernest Hemingway
email me if google hasn't got the answer..(click ad, scanned from the latest Gotham) This almost makes me like the new Diesel stupidity. Fellow Italian fashion brand Brunello Cucinelli gets all Eastern philosophical with an unknown (Google and Bartlett’s turned up zilch) gooey bit of hooey, combined with a probable stock photo of an Asian girl in dirty stockings with cherries on them. Theirwebsite is full of more thoughtful bullshit from Dostoevsky, Socrates, etc. Free scholarly sound bites: I guess that’s one way to try to justify charging $1,000 for sweaters.
