Hippocrates
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Hippocrates

Evelyn Waugh
“Oxford, in those days, was still a city of aquatint. In her spacious and quiet streets men walked and spoke as they had done in Newman's day; her autumnal mists, her grey springtime, and the rare glory of her summer days - such as that day - when the chestnut was in flower and the bells rang out high and clear over her gables and cupolas, exhaled the soft airs of centuries of youth. It was this cloistral hush which gave our laughter its resonance, and carried it still, joyously, over the intervening clamour.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

George MacDonald Fraser
“they did not fight for a Britain where to hold by truths and values which have been thought good and worthy for a thousand years would be to run the risk of being called “fascist”
George MacDonald Fraser, Quartered Safe Out Here: A Harrowing Tale of World War II
