"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which you realize that you are trapped in a world almost entirely devoid of reason. Laughter is how you release the anxiety you feel at this knowledge." -Dave Barry, humorist

 

Read to children. Vote. And never buy anything from a man who's selling fear. -Mary Doria Russell, science-fiction writer

 

When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set. -Lin Yutang, writer and translator

From the September 29 "Metropolitan Diary" in the NY Times: 

 

Quote

Dear Diary:

 

I was at a business lunch at a well-regarded restaurant near Union Square.

 

I asked the waiter if the beef on the menu was pasture raised. He said he would check with the chef.

He returned a few minutes later.

 

“The chef says you can’t pasteurize a whole cow,” he said. “You can only pasteurize its milk.”
