Quotation of the Day for October 31, 2015



"When I was in Russian school, we watched a movie where the protagonist got drunk, forgot his shotgun, and got eaten by sobakas. Seriously. In English, dogs are man's best friend. In Russian, sobakas leave behind empty, tooth-marked boots."

- Gabriel Wyner, in Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It.
