“Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions; the surest poison is time. This cup which nature puts to our lips, has a wonderful virtue, surpassing that of any other draught. It opens the senses, adds power, fills us with exalted dreams, which we call hope, love, ambition, science; especially it creates a craving for larger draughts of itself.” DreamTimeVirtueWonderfulAmbitionWeakAddLipsAlcoholCoffeeSensesCupsPoisonCravingAcidTobaccoExaltedSurpassingDraughtHope LoveHashish Book:Society and Solitude and Other Essays Source: Society and Solitude and Other Essays

“Alberto Alessi had asked a dozen architects to design a sterling silver tea service - with a teapot, a coffee pot, sugar, creamer, a spoon, and a tray. Our brief was that it didn't matter if it didn't work and cost wasn't the issue. It was a promotional project, not a commercial enterprise, and was going to be showcased in museums. And the coffee and tea piazza, as mine was called, received a great response. It was wonderful to walk into the Whitney museum and see all these objects on the first floor.” IfsFirstsMatterWalksIssuesWonderfulDesignObjectsMinesCostProjectsResponseCoffeeTeaEnterpriseSilverMuseumsPotArchitectSugarDozenSpoonsWhitneySterlingTraysTeapotsCoffee And Tea Author:Michael Graves
“I like to walk around my neighborhood, late in the afternoon. I sometimes wind up at the wonderful, old Shell station that's been changed into a coffee shop. Right where Johnny used to change my oil, I have a latte and take out my little book bag. It doesn't sound very austere.” LittlesBookSometimesUsedSoundWalksWonderfulChangedWindLateOilCoffeeShopsBagsNeighborhoodStationsAfternoonShellsCoffee ShopLattes Author:Coleman Barks
