Additional quotes by François Rabelais
Like verisimilary amorabonds, we captat the benevolence of the omnijugal, omniform, and omnigenal foeminine sex. Upon certain diecules we invisat the lupanares, and in a venerian ecstasy inculcate our veretres into the penitissime recesses of the pudends of these amicabilissimes meretricules. Then we do cauponisate in the meritory taberns of the Pineapple, the Castle, the Magdalene, and the Mule, goodly vervecine spatules perforaminated with petrocile.
— Quoi ! dit Tripet, ce gautier ici se gabèle de nous. Oui es-tu? — Je suis, dit Gymnaste, pauvre diable. — Ha ! dit Tripet, puisque tu es pauvre diable, c'est raison que passes outre, car tout pauvre diable passe partout sans péage ni gabelle; mais ce n'est de coutume que pauvres diables soient si bien montés.
