"That which could hunger, could starve."

-- Octavia Butler

“He is a first-rate collector who can, upon all occasions, collect his wits.”
“The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.”
“I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food I'm cooking.”
“Here's what I've found in Louisiana: The voters want to know what you believe, what you stand for, and what you plan to do, not what shade your skin is.”
“Cats have a sort of game they play when they meet. A player alternates between watching the strange cat and ignoring her, grooming or examining everything around herself - a dead leaf, a cloud - with complete absorption. It is almost accidental how the two cats approach, a sidelong step and then the sitting again. This often ends in a flurry of spitting and slashing claws, too fast to see clearly, and then one or the other (or both) of the cats leap out of range. The game can have one exchange or many - and is not so different from the first meetings of women.”
“Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.”
“Two people making love, she once said, are like one drowned person resuscitating the other.”
“Reflect each day on all you have to be grateful for and you will receive more to be grateful for.”
