Quote by Art Buchwald

Americans are just beginning to regard food the way the French always have. Dinner is not what you do in the evening before something else. Dinner is the evening.

Summary

This quote implies that there is a cultural difference between Americans and the French when it comes to their perception of food. In America, dinner is often seen as a meal that precedes other activities or events, while the French view dinner as the main focus and highlight of the evening itself. It suggests that Americans are gradually adopting a more appreciative and mindful approach towards food, similar to the long-standing French tradition of valuing the dining experience as a central aspect of their day.

It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about the society you're supposed to be adjusted to? Is it a mad society or a sane one? And even if it's pretty sane, is it right that anybody should be completely adjusted to it?
