DEATH: Del...? That's not for eating. I think it's a table decoration.
DELIRIUM: It's nice. It tastes a bit like forever. I like the way colors taste. Except I don't like crimsons... or turquoises... especially when they put their heads into their shells and won't play. And when you break their shells to let them out, they die...
DEATH: That's turtles, dear. Or tortoises.
DELIRIUM: I think it's turquoise.
~ Neil Gaiman, Sandman series, Chapter Three: In Which We Wake
