I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.

Let the long contention cease! / Geese are swans, and swans are geese.

He must be a chaser of wild geese, as well as of wild ducks. He must be prepared to make a public spectacle of himself.

I don't have ugly ducklings turning into swans in my stories. I have ugly ducklings turn into confident ducks.

It is not that the French are not profound, but they all express themselves so well that we are led to take their geese for swans.
