“There are some things that don't change much. I find the smell of a dish, or the way a certain spice is crushed, or just a quick look at the way something has been put on a plate, can pull me back to another place and time. I love those memories that seem so far away, yet you can hold them and carry them with you, even forget them, and then, with a single taste or hint or a smell, be chaperoned back to a beautiful moment.”
― Tessa Kiros

“If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one and buy hyacinths, for they would feed my soul.”
― Mohammad

Ruth Reichl
“Anyone who thinks they're too grown up or too sophisticated to eat caramel corn, is not invited to my house for dinner”
― Ruth Reichl

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
― Rumi

George Bernard Shaw
“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
― George Bernard Shaw
