Additional quotes by Walter Map

Hoc solum deliqui, quod uiuo.

Vadis quo uis, morieris ubi debes.

The Cistercians...are wholly strange to the use of flesh. Yet they keep pigs to the number of many thousands, and sell the bacon—though perhaps not quite all of it. The heads, legs and feet they neither give away, throw away, nor sell. What becomes of them God knows.
