~Leonardo da Vinci

“I want
To do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”

~ Pablo Neruda (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair)

"We plan, we toil, we suffer – in the hope of what?  A camel-load of idol’s eyes?  The title deeds of Radio City?  The empire of Asia?  A trip to the moon?  No, no, no, no.  Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs." 

~J.B. Priestly (English novelist, playwright and broadcaster)

“Drinking beer doesn’t make you fat, It makes you lean…. Against bars, tables, chairs, poles…”

~Chevy Chase

“Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but it only takes one to burn it.”
