“The bread and the pastry, the cheeses and wine, and the sugar go into the Supper of the lamb because we do. It is our love that brings the city home. It is I grant you, an incautious and extravagant hope. But only outlandish hopes can make themselves at home.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

“Only miracle is plain; it is in the ordinary that groans with the weight of glory.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

“Every real thing is a joy, if only you have eyes and ears to relish it, a nose and tongue to taste it.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

Robert Farrar Capon
“Why do we marry, why take friends and lovers? Why give ourselves to music, painting, chemistry or cooking? Out of simple delight in the resident goodness of creation, of course; but out of more than that, too. Half earth's gorgeousness lies hidden in the glimpsed city it longs to become.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

Robert Farrar Capon
“Lord, please restore to us the comfort of merit and demerit. Show us that there is at least something we can do. Tell us that at the end of the day there will at least be one redeeming card of our very own. Lord, if it is not too much to ask, send us to bed with a few shreds of self-respect upon which we can congratulate ourselves. But whatever you do, do not preach grace. Give us something to do, anything; but spare us the indignity of this indiscriminate acceptance.”
Robert Farrar Capon, Between Noon & Three: Romance, Law & the Outrage of Grace
