These are a gathering of quotes I've discovered and love and things I've come up with through my own path of learning and growing.
- "The level of appreciation we have toward food directly correlates to how much effort goes into attaining, cultivating, preparing, interacting with and learning about it." - Allyson N. Jason
- "Do something new and different every day!" --Allyson N. Jason
- "Enlightenment--that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance--never happens by accident. It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses." - Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano, "Landscapes of Wonder"
- "Know something about everything and everything about something" -- T. H. Huxley
- "The most exhausting thing you can do is to be inauthentic." -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
- "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" -- Eleanor Roosevelt
- "Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons." -- Al Hirschfeld (This includes food artists)
- "The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for." -- Oscar Wilde
- "The secret of genius is to bring childhood into maturity" -- T.H. Huxley
- "This process of the good life is not, I am convinced, a life for the faint-hearted. It involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one's potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life." -- Carl Rogers
- "Not all those who wander are lost..."-- J.R.R. Tolkien
- "Look at your eyes. They are small, but they see enormous things." -- Rumi
- “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -- Marianne Williamson
- “The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” -Dorothy ParkerSee More
