On Free Walking Tours
The tour guides are generally more informative, passionate, and motivated when they do not charge a fixed rate per person.

On Paella
Although it is widely known as the national dish of Spain, many Spaniards consider it to be a Valencian dish.
"[Paella] symbolizes the union and heritage of two important cultures, the Roman, which gives us the utensil and the Arab which brought us the basic food of humanity for centuries."
-Lourdes March, Food Historian

On Talking
"For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and it's greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking."
-Stephen Hawking

On Change in the New Year
"There were people who went to sleep last night,
Poor and rich and white and black,
But they will never wake again.
And those dead folks would give anything at all
For just five minutes of this weather
Or ten minutes of plowing.
So you watch yourself about complaining.
What you're supposed to do
When you don't like a thing is change it.
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it."
