Laurie Colwin Life Quotations

The fact is that modern life has deprived us of life's one great luxury: time.

The sharing of food is the basis of social life.

One of the delights of life is eating with friends; second to that is talking about eating. And, for an unsurpassed double whammy, there is talking about eating while you are eating with friends.

We know that without food we would die. Without fellowship, life is not worth living.

When life is hard and the day has been long, the ideal dinner is not four perfect courses, each in a lovely pool of sauce whose ambrosial flavors are like nothing ever before tasted, but rather something comforting and savory, easy on the digestion - something that makes one feel, if even for only a minute, that one is safe.
