"There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life...."

“There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life. That is delaying the day. Night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. Night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. If you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.”

- Ernest Hemingway, Part Three of The Soul of Spain with McAlmon and Bird the Publishers collected in 88 Poems
