“I pick up my teaspoon and take a small bite, and am transported. The cake is nutty and moist, the cream with the barest hint of rum, the dark chocolate ganache smooth and silky with just enough bitterness, the apricot bringing that perfect amount of tart brightness, cutting through the rich flavors, and making the whole thing sing in the mouth. It is perfectly balanced and absolutely amazing, and I'm mentally making notes to see if I can replicate it.”

“I stand condemned before the court of human justice. The odds are not in my favor. The judge is about to give its verdict - guilty as charged. My detractors are ready to roll out the drums, happy for my downfall. My friends' faces are frozen, ashamed that they know me. As the judge prepares to give his verdict, MERCY - a friend of the court and the de facto judge - springs to his feet. He requests for the charge sheet and tears it into shreds. MERCY takes up the judge's seat, sets aside the pending judgment, and pronounces me 'discharged and acquitted'. Wow! MERCY rubbishes the credible charges and averts the certain judgment. Justice operates on facts, MERCY seeks the truth. Justice sees the past, MERCY sees into the future. If you fully understand MERCY, you must be a saint. Because, I don't. But I love it when God demonstrates it. I am even not ashamed to ask for MERCY.”

“We are all surrounded with so much static energy, that it is actually crucial to develop the ability to remove that and to flow through the streams in life that we make— the ones that are not stagnant, the ones that are real, the energy that is flowing and that is real and that is actual. You can get so caught up with what your friends think about your photo on Facebook that you don't realize your loss of ability to actually feel what in fact was going on in that photo. Too often, we stop to smell the flowers in order to show someone that we have stopped to smell the flowers; without actually smelling anything with our noses! This is scary. We live in a scary world.”

“Lars von Trier zaczął interesować się sztuką po tym, jak w wieku czternastu, piętnastu lat obejrzał w telewizji film o Edvardzie Munchu. - Fantastyczny film - mówi. - W dwóch częściach. To on otworzył przed nim świat malarstwa. Lars był oczarowawany nie tylko samymi obrazami, ale w równym stopniu też artystami. Zwłaszcza tymi najbardziej niemożliwymi. - Mam bardzo romantyczne wyobrażenie o artystach. Najlepiej jeśli są bliscy obłędu, wtedy jest najzabawniej. Całe to szaleństwo i depresja Mucha. Fantastyczne! - szepcze. - Depresje zawsze były dobrym materiałem. I melancholia, jak wtedy, kiedy Munch malował tę chorą dziewczynę z wampirem, która siedzi i go całuje. Madonna otoczona plemnikami. Tam to się dopiero działo.”
