Allegra Goodman
“Who are you? She asked silently, as she laid away the collector's quotations, his drawings, his scraps of famous poetry: "Come live with me and be my love..." interleaved with menus: 'oysters, fish stew, tortoise in its shell, bread from the oven, honey from the honeycomb.' The books were unsplattered but much fingered, their pages soft with turning and re-turning, like collections of old fairy tales. Often Jess thought of Rapunzel and golden apples and enchanted gardens. She thought of Ovid, and Dante, and Cervantes, and the Pre-Raphaelites, for sometimes McClintock pictured his beloved eating, and sometimes sleeping in fields of poppies, and once throned like Persephone, with strawberry vines entwined in her long hair.”
Allegra Goodman, The Cookbook Collector

Virginia Woolf
“. . . it would seem to be a fact that writers stamp themselves upon their possessions more indelibly than other people. Of artistic taste they may have none; but they seem always to possess a much rarer and more interesting gift—a faculty for housing themselves appropriately, for making the table, the chair, the curtain, the carpet into their own image.”
Virginia Woolf, The London Scene: Six Essays on London Life

“A mad and vengeful cop can be your worst enemy. Think of the movie “Mad Max.” Cops have to play by the law which constantly puts them at a huge disadvantage. However, once he (the cop) decides to ditch the law to gain revenge, he now is playing by the same rules as his enemy. If this becomes the case, you may be in for some serious shit.”
Chris Mentillo

“Ultimately, the person you become is the result of your own choices—no one else can shape that destiny but you.”
