Quote by Leylah Attar

“His gaze traveled over my face for a long, still beat before falling on my neck. “I can’t bear the thought of you leaving,” he said to the mark his teeth had left there. “I stop breathing every time I think about it.” He found another one, closer to my collarbone, and pressed his lips to it. “I want you in ways you can’t even begin to imagine.” His voice was muffled, vibrating against my flesh with deep, soft resonance. “Will I miss you?” He lifted his head and looked at me. “Like a dream that starves and curls up beneath my bones.”

“Nobody except a demented prophet of doom could have foreseen their (Jews) terrible fate. The half million Jews of Germany, less than one percent of our population, knew they faced difficult times with Hitler's ascendance to power, but they were hardly prepared for the onslaught of repressive measures against them. ...many believed he would moderate once he legitimately headed the government. They reasoned since he had gained power by making them the scapegoats, his fury was largely a political pretense to gather votes and would abate under his new respectability. They were dead wrong.”

“That mess can't possibly come together in any proper way! I haven't the first idea what either of them is thinking! No, Erina Nakiri. You do know. Think back to what you found in abundance at Polaris. All the crazy, incomprehensible ideas bouncing off one another... creating solutions... creating possibilities I'd never imagined possible. Chef Saiba and Yukihira are doing just that. By letting their ideas and egos clash... they're trying to create something that could never come about through any preestablished method. This is the test Chef Saiba has set before us. Ugh! None of this can be considered cooking! To a perfectionist like me, this is plain unthinkable! But... if that's what you want... You're on! "What's this?!" "M-Miss Erina!" "She's cooking a steak?!" "W-what stage of the recipe is this? Is that the kind of dish this is?" "No! I've never heard of such a thing! The traditional Hachis Parmentier recipe always calls for thinly sliced or ground meat! Th-this is shocking! Miss Erina has always epitomized the traditional standard of haute cuisine. For her to do something so... so unorthodox!" Finally... in a sense, this is a first for her. The first time... ... she's truly had to train.”

“The beginning of wisdom, I believe, is our ability to accept an inherent messiness in our explanation of what's going on. Nowhere is it written that human minds should be able to give a full accounting of creation in all dimensions and on all levels. Ludwig Wittgenstein had the idea that philosophy should be what he called "true enough." I think that's a great idea. True enough is as true as can be gotten. The imagination is chaos. New forms are fetched out of it. The creative act is to let down the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended and then to attempt to bring out of it ideas.”
