“A woman who can eat a real bruschetta is a woman you can love and who can love you. Someone who pushes the thing away because it's messy is never going to cackle at you toothlessly across the living room of your retirement cottage or drag you back from your sixth heart attack by sheer furious affection. Never happen. You need a woman who isn't afraid of a faceful of olive oil for that.” NeedsHeartRealHappensRoomsLove YouAffectionOilRetirementDragSheerMessyLiving RoomFuriousCottagesOlivesHeart AttackOlive Oil Book:The Gone-Away World Source: The Gone-Away World
“People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you're a teacher you're in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWorldWantNeedsChildrenLongEnoughKidsHouseSexTeachTeacherImagineModernFineOughtBattleAdultsConstantGet BetterWitchFuriousDeluded Author:Nick Harkaway
