“Secretly in my heart, I believe food is a doorway to almost every dimension of our existence. ... Food never was just food. From the time a cave person first came out from under a rock, food has been a little bit of everything: who we are spiritually as well as what keeps us alive. It's a gathering place, and in the best of all worlds it's possible that when people of one country sit down to eat another culture's food it will open their minds to the culture itself. Food is a doorway to understanding, and it can be as profound or as facile as you would like it to be.” PeopleWorldMindFirstsBelieveWellsHeartLittlesPersonsHas BeensCountryCultureI BelieveBitsUnderstandingExistenceAliveRocksFoodMy HeartLittle BitProfoundWho We AreDimensionsCavesGatheringDoorwaysGathering Places Author:Lynne Rossetto Kasper
“You know, we have little bits of understanding, glimpses, a little bit of light here and there, but there's a tremendous amount of darkness, which is a challenge. I think life would be pretty boring if we understood everything. It's better if we don't understand anything and know that we don't, that's the important part.” IfsThinkingKnowsLittlesImportantLightWould BeBitsUnderstandingChallengesDarknessAmountLittle BitUnderstoodBoringGlimpseHere And There Author:Noam Chomsky
“In all the dictatorships, there's such a non-understanding of what human beings are. I mean, if you believe in the Bible, you have the story of Adam and Eve and God tells them, "Do whatever you want. The only thing you shouldn't do is eat the apple." What do they do the first thing? They eat the apple. So if you know a little bit the psychology of human beings, you have to understand that if you say something you should not do, then everybody wants to do it.” IfsKnowsWantShouldFirstsBelieveHumansMeanLittlesStoriesBitsUnderstandingHuman BeingsPsychologyLittle BitApplesAdamDictatorshipIf You BelieveAdam And EveDo Whatever You Want Author:Marjane Satrapi
“Food, like anything else, lives in the physical world and obeys the laws of physics.

“The sort of formality that goes into my artwork I would not expect from everybody in the world.
