Yolanda Quotes

“I shared my love of books with Benny, but Aunt Yolanda opened my eyes to the world of food as art, cooking without cans. She introduced me to the magic of spices, the exotic perfume of fresh herbs crushed between fingers. Younger than my mother, she was rounded in just the right spots, from her love of good food, and when we talked she looked right at me and listened, nodding and laughing loudly when I'd tell jokes, holding my hand when we'd walk, as if we were best friends or sisters.
She liked Anne and Christine, too, but I could tell I was her favorite. She took me with her on shopping trips, to the fish market near the waterfront and the farm stands out west. Sometimes she'd journey to the Asian grocers in Northeast Portland or the hippie vegetarian markets on Hawthorne to find something special. We'd come home laden with ingredients that I knew my mother had never heard of, and the resulting feasts would fill me with a yearning to go to different places, to try new things.”

“Što sve može učiniti glas kao ovaj, žena kao ova? Ukrotiti vuka da krotko leži na postelji od slame. Ali samo na trenutak. Jer vuka se ukrotiti ne može. <...> Je li svjesna, hoće li ikada znati, kako umire srce onoga tko više nije živ?”

“Ljudi vole pokusne kuniće, ljudi vole moć. Ljudi ne prezaju ni od čega što će ih činiti jačima.”
