"He said coconut cake every time because we never had been able to decide whether Ringo had ever tasted coconut cake or not." ... "Now and then I used to try and help him decide, get him to tell me how it tasted and what it looked like and sometimes he would almost decide to risk it before he would change his mind. Because he said hat he would rather just maybe have tasted coconut cake without remembering it than to know for certain he had not; that if he were to describe the wrong kind of cake, he would never taste coconut cake as long as he lived."
William Faulkner - The Unvanquished (pg. 24-25)
