Quotes

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World

William Ross Wallace

He continued, slowly, by a process of osmosis and white knowledge (which is like white noise, only more useful), to comprehend the city, a process that accelerated when he realized that the actual City of London itself was no bigger than a square mile.

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

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

W.C. Fields
