"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."

Louis Sebastien Mercier

All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.


Ernest Hemingway

Let not the sands of time get in your lunch.

National Lampoon

Whenever you want to marry someone, go have lunch with his ex-wife.


Shelley Winters

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

Rodney Dangerfield

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?


-Fran Lebowitz

Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. You can waste... years, trying to get someone to give that respect to you, as though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay. If only you do enough, if only you are good enough. No. You have to just... take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that and walk away. But that's hard.

Lois McMaster Bujold

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.


-Napoleon Bonaparte

My work is magnified by the fact that the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels / we know their names, they number a thousand for each red ribbon we wear here tonight.
