Laurie Colwin
“Cooking is like love. You don't have to be particularly beautiful or very glamorous, or even very exciting to fall in love. You just have to be interested in it. It's the same thing with food.”
Laurie Colwin

Anna Quindlen
“The being happy. It’s so much easier, to learn to love what you have instead of yearning always for what you’re missing, or what you imagine you’re missing. It’s so much more peaceful.”
Anna Quindlen, One True Thing

Rosamunde Pilcher
“Alone. She realized how much she had missed the luxury of solitude, and knew that its occasional comfort would always be essential to her. The pleasure of being on one's own was not so much spiritual as sensuous, like wearing silk, or swimming without a bathing suit, or walking along a totally empty beach with the sun on your back. One was restored by solitude. Refreshed.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, Coming Home

Maeve Binchy
“Who knows what light housework means? One nun’s light could be another nun’s penal servitude.”
Maeve Binchy, Circle of Friends

Rosamunde Pilcher
“Happiness is making the most of what you have, and riches is making the most of what you've got.”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers
