"Go to the farmers market and buy food there. You'll get something that's delicious. It's discouraging that this seems like such an elitist thing. It's not. It's just that we have to pay the real cost of food. People have to understand that cheap food has been subsidized. We have to realize that it's important to pay farmers up front, because they are taking care of the land."

-- Alice Waters

It is these moments above all that I try to narrate dramatically.”
“When you travel from your own country to another country for a long period, you do become aware of the differences.

Also, Finnish people say things directly; that kind of direct honesty would be very impolite in France.”
