Quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“С самого утра меня стала мучить какая-то удивительная тоска. Мне вдруг показалось, что меня, одинокого, все покидают и что все от меня отступаются. Оно, конечно, всякий вправе спросить: кто же эти все? потому что вот уже восемь лет, как я живу в Петербурге, и почти ни одного знакомства не умел завести”

“I was familiar with the little mating rituals of getting to know each other, of dragging out the stories from childhood, summer camp, and high school, the famous humiliations, and the adorable things you said as a child, the familial dramas—of having a portrait of yourself, all the while making yourself out to be a little brighter, a little more deep than deep down you knew you actually were. And though I hadn’t had more than three or four relationships, I already knew that each time the thrill of telling another the story of yourself wore off a little more, each time you threw yourself into it a little less, and grew more distrustful of an intimacy that always, in the end, failed to pass into true understanding.”

“I tore open a bag of truffle chips---really truffle-flavored potato chips---that cost $3.95: a novelty I'd never buy on my own. I shook them onto a small plate and the scent of truffles, at once earthy and faintly metallic, filled the air. That scent always triggers a free-floating longing in me, the ache of a bittersweet memory, but with no specific memory attached. (Did such poignancy make the chips worth twice as much as the Lay's?)”

“Amazing! All of the ingredients, prepared just how I want them... "Is this rough mix good enough?" "Yeah!" ... are showing up at my fingertips exactly where I need them. I only have one person helping me... ... but... ... it feels like I'm working three or four times faster than when I'm cooking alone! "What on earth is that?" "Let's see... Soma Yukihira. My! He transferred in as a freshman? How unusual." "He's anticipating her every move... melding her work with his support into one cohesive whole." "He does nothing unnecessary... constantly keeping one eye on Megumi Tadokoro, so he never impedes her work.”
