“The world exists, not for what it means but for what it is. The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to be wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.” WorldNeedsMeanDoeStillsReasonWholeUseLyingPurposeOrderNaturalWalksCreationLessonsGoodnessRemainsWineEnvironmentalDelightSomewhere ElsePietyMushrooms Author:Robert Farrar Capon
“A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe.” IfsKnowsWritingLooksSaidEnoughWholeUniversePoetUnderstoodWineGlassesWine Glass Book:The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 1 for tablets Source: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 1 for tablets

“I wish that restaurateurs would choose simpler and smaller glassware. The tables on restaurants these days are way too crowded, and mostly because the plates are too odd looking and big, and the wine glasses are so gigantic that it takes up the whole surface area and you can't move. I prefer smaller glassware.” WayWholeBigsMovingWishAreasTablesWineGlassesSurfaceThese DaysOddRestaurantsPlatesCrowdedWine Glass Author:Geoffrey Zakarian
