“Food is a gift and should be treated reverentially--romanced and ritualized and seasoned with memory.”

“I ate and drank slowly as one should (cook fast, eat slowly) and without distractions such as (thank heavens) conversation or reading. Indeed eating is so pleasant one should even try to suppress thought. Of course reading and thinking are important but, my God, food is important too. How fortunate we are to be food-consuming animals. Every meal should be a treat and one ought to bless every day which brings with it a good digestion and the precious gift of hunger.”

“T. Wiggett Jones: It should be illegal...to feel this rotten...without a variety of loathsome memories to cherish.Wild Wild West (TV) First Season: Night of the Grand Emir”

“Movie without romance feels like food without flavor.”

“So are you to my thoughts as food to life, or as sweet seasoned showers are to the ground.”

“There are special, strange gifted people in the world and they have to be treated with understanding”
