Quote by Jennifer Saint

“Just as you will never lose me, you will never lose your crown. Your coronet will guide sailors to safety through the labyrinth of the treacherous seas. Women will look to it for a sign of comfort, a light in the darkness. Children will whisper their wishes to it before they close their eyes to dream. It will stay there, fast and true, for all time.”

“A grown woman tasting a spoonful of Georgia's Mousse au Citron at a late afternoon lunch, then suddenly standing and announcing that she needed to reconcile with her estranged sister before it was too late. She'd hastened away, leaving her coat, one hundred euros to pay the bill, and the mostly uneaten mousse at the table. After devouring Georgia's beet and goat cheese tart one bitter winter evening, an American man with an engagement ring nestled on top of a slice of Georgia's cherry clafoutis looked across the table at his girlfriend and said later that he could suddenly see clearly that she was not the love of his life. He'd hastened back to the kitchen to remove the ring from the dessert where it was waiting to be served at the right moment. They left the restaurant with the ring in his pocket and his girlfriend in tears. There had been others. Many others, now that she thought of it. It had been a bit of a joke among the kitchen staff, that Georgia's dishes could cause more breakups and engagements and family feuds and reconciliations than the restaurant had ever seen. She'd never really put it all together before, but now that she thought of it... "I think my cooking might give people clarity somehow," Georgia said in surprise.”

“All the better Mugwash have the Gift. Well, Gifts to be precise. The first Gift – which I'm told is called prescience – is the ability to anticipate another's needs. The second is the ability to read another's thoughts: to know what they're thinking and serve them accordingly. And then there is the Gift possessed by the best Mugwash a master could desire: the ability to step into another's shoes, as it were, and feel how another is feeling. That I'm told, is empathy.”

“The purest essence of our humanity is rooted in the willingness to relinquish the gift of life in order to insure that that gift is preserved in the life of another. And to take the hands of cowardice and reach into the depths of our soul in an attempt to rip those roots out is to relinquish the gift of life without preserving anything in the relinquishment, including ourselves.”
