Quote by Eduardo Galeano

We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.

We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass

Summary

This quote implies that our awareness of our mortality diminishes when we experience the intense pleasure and thrill of a first kiss and the relaxation and contentment that comes from enjoying a second glass of wine. In these moments, we may momentarily forget our own mortality and fully embrace the present, feeling alive and filled with joy. The quote suggests that certain experiences have the power to momentarily transcend our mortal nature and allow us to fully immerse ourselves in the pleasures of life.

Kissinger projects a strong impression of a man at home in the world and on top of his brief. But there are a number of occasions when it suits him to pose as a sort of Candide: naive, and ill-prepared for and easily unhorsed by events. No doubt this pose costs him something in point of self-esteem. It is a pose, furthermore, which he often adopts at precisely the time when the record shows him to be knowledgeable, and when knowledge or foreknowledge would also confront him with charges of responsibility or complicity.
