"A good cook is a certain slow..." - Quote by Voltaire

“People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines.... It appears to me, besides, that such people can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel.”

“To announce truths is an infallible receipt for being persecuted.”

“The only reward to be expected from literature is contempt if one fails and hatred if one succeeds.”

“My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.”

“Old women are the secret to the fluffiest cakes.”

“I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.”

“We made, actually, history, because it was the first time ever that doctors could prove that a lifelong Republican has a heart.”

“Getting old is not a matter of age; it's a lack of #‎ movement . And the ultimate lack of movement is death.”

“You could stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast. So the amount of time that it takes between sickness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure out how to let it in - for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad.”
