We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.

The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel'd to heaven is no artist.

William Blake

My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook, and she still cooks, and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community, food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that.

[Chess] is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.

George Bernard Shaw

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

Saint Jerome

One might suppose that reality must be held to at all costs. However, though that may be the moral thing to do, it is not necessarily the most useful thing to do. The Greeks themselves chose the ideal over the real in their geometry and demonstrated very well that far more could be achieved by consideration of abstract line and form than by a study of the real lines and forms of the world; the greater understanding achieved through abstraction could be applied most usefully to the very reality that was ignored in the process of gaining knowledge.

Isaac Asimov

Only the words of love kept alive are worthy of not being wasted

Arlo Guthrie

Barometer, n. An ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we are having.

Ambrose Bierce

Between the wish and the thing life lies waiting.

Proverb

Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
