“all over the world...the past was being wiped out by condominiums.”
― Elmore Leonard, Cat Chaser

“People who love to eat are always the best people.”
― Julia Child

“You love the accidental. A smile from a pretty girl in an interesting situation, a stolen glance, that is what you are hunting for, that is a motif for your aimless fantasy. You who always pride yourself on being an observateur must, in return, put up with becoming an object of observation. Ah, you are a strange fellow, one moment a child, the next an old man; one moment you are thinking most earnestly about the most important scholarly problems, how you will devote your life to them, and the next you are a lovesick fool. But you are a long way from marriage.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

“Love is the skillful audacity required to share an inner life”
― Gertrude Stein
