“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.”
― M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating

“Time is a game played beautifully by children.”
― Heraclitus, Fragments

“I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.”

“A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.”
