“Do they still call it infatuation? That magic ax that chops away the world in one blow, leaving only the couple standing there trembling? Whatever they call it, it leaps over anything, takes the biggest chair, the largest slice, rules the ground wherever it walks, from a mansion to a swamp, and its selfishness is its beauty.... People with no imagination feed it with sex -- the clown of love. They don't know the real kinds, the better kinds, where losses are cut and everybody benefits. It takes a certain intelligence to love like that -- softly, without props.” PeopleKnowsWorldLoveKindStillsRealCertainSexImaginationLossWalksCuttingMagicCoupleBenefitsStandingLeavingBlowSelfishnessChairsLeapInfatuationClownTremblingPropsMansionsSwampsStanding There Author:Toni Morrison

“The fine gifts of temperament and imagination which are essential to the production of true poetry are often accompanied by morbid sensibility.

“When I walk into a market I may see a different cut of meat or an unusual vegetable and think, ‘I wonder how it would be if I took the recipe for that sauce I had in Provence and put the two together?’ So I go home and try it out. Sometimes my idea is a success and sometimes it is a flop, but that is how recipes are born. There really are not recipes, only millions of variations sparked by someone’s imagination and desire to be a little creative and different. American cooking is built, after all, on variations of old recipes from around the world.” IfsThinkingWorldTryingMayLittlesTwoIdeasDifferentSometimesHomeWould BeTogetherDesireBornImaginationWalksWonderMillionsCreativeCuttingBuiltCookingAround The WorldMeatUnusualVegetablesRecipesVariationSauceProvence Author:James Beard

“There are, broadly speaking, two types of drinkers. There is the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants.... The other type of drinker has imagination, vision. Even when most pleasantly jingled he walks straight and naturally, never staggers nor falls, and knows just where he is and what he is doing. It is not his body but his brain that is drunken.” KnowsMenTwoBodyFallImaginationWalksBrainVisionStupidHe ManTypeBlueLegsSpreadWideEcstasyMiceElephantsNumbDrinkersGuttersExtremityMaggots Author:Jack London
