Egg Tart Quotes

1. "Un giorno,però, a diciotto anni, leggendo l'autobiografia di John Stuart Mill 1 , trovai questafrase: «Mio padre mi insegnò che la domanda: "Chi mi creò?" non può avere risposta,perché suggerisce immediatamente un nuovo interrogativo: "Chi creò Dio?"»Compresi allora quanto fosse errato l'argomento della Causa Prima. Se tutto deveavere una causa, anche Dio deve averla. Se niente può esistere senza una causa, alloraperché il mondo sì e Dio no? Questo principio della Causa Prima non è miglioredell'analoga teoria indù, che afferma come il mondo poggi sopra un elefante, el'elefante sopra una tartaruga. Alla domanda: «E la tartaruga dove poggia?» l'indùrispose: «Vogliamo cambiare discorso?» Non c'è dunque motivo per sostenere che ilmondo debba proprio avere una causa ed un'origine. Potrebbe anche essere sempreesistito. È soltanto la nostra scarsa immaginazione che vuole trovare un'origine atutto."

2. "In my travels, I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food, and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son, Hudson, to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods, so it could be easier in theory than practice!"

3. "The Story of the Rabbit and the EggplantOnce there was a race between a rabbit and an eggplant. Now, the eggplant, as you know, is a member of the vegetable kingdom, and the rabbit is a very fast animal.Everybody bet lots of money on the eggplant, thinking that if a vegetable challenges a live animal with four legs to a race, then it must be that the vegetable knows something.People expected the eggplant to win the race by some clever trick of philosophy. The race was started, and there was a lot of cheering. The rabbit streaked out of sight.The eggplant just sat there at the starting line. Everybody knew that in some surprising way the eggplant would wind up winning the race.Nothing of the sort happened. Eventually, the rabbit crossed the finish line and the eggplant hadn't moved an inch.The spectators ate the eggplant.Moral: Never bet on an eggplant."

5. "[...] perché anche lui, come tanti, nel profondo sapeva che quello che soprattutto fa la persona che ami è occupare spazio, stare al mondo: diventare il tuo spazio e il tuo mondo. E il peggio che ti può capitare, quando ti abitui a vivere in un mondo ridotto ad una persona soltanto, è di pensare di avere abbastanza mondo per essere felice, addirittura diventarlo e così raccontarti che nel resto del mondo, tutto quell'altro mondo che non è lei, non vuoi neanche più andarci; infatti non ci vai, e dopo un po' ti senti persino fiero di aver smesso di frequentarlo, quel mondo così vasto, anche se poi quando viene a girare dalle tue parti o lo vedi dalla finestra ti sale un po' di magone, e te ne torni dentro mordendoti le labbra."

6. "Alexia had found pregnancy relatively manageable, up to a point. That point having been some three weeks ago, at which juncture her natural reserves of control gave way to sentimentality. Only yesterday she had ended breakfast sobbing over the fried eggs because they looked at her funny. The pack had spent a good half hour trying to find a way to pacify her. Her husband was so worried he looked to start crying himself."
Author: Gail Carriger

7. "Breakfast was, on the whole, a leisurely and silent meal, for no member of the family was very talkative at that hour. By the end of the meal the influence of the coffee, toast, and eggs made itself felt, and we started to revive, to tell each other what we intended to do, why we intended to do it, and then argue earnestly as to whether each had made a wise decision."
Author: Gerald Durrell

8. "Egymásra néztek, azzal a mozdulatlan, éles, belehatoló tekintettel, amikor két lélek komolyan hiszi: eggyé tud olvadni. Egymást keresték a másik szemében, a szeme mögött, a létezés megfejhetetlenségében s ismeretlenjében. Néma, makacs kérdéssel kutatták egymást. Mit jelent majd egyik a másiknak? Milyen lesz az élet, amit együtt kezdenek? Milyen örömöket, boldogságot, csalódást tartogatnak egymás számára a házasság hosszú, felbonthatatlan, bizalmas kettesében? És mind a ketten azt érezték, hogy még sohasem látták egymást."
Author: Guy De Maupassant

10. "I think unconsciously I was afraid that if she asked me how I felt, my unleashed grief and rage would kill us all. In some unadmitted corner of myself I was already weeping and screaming and begging her not to leave me, not to go. If I started crying for real, only her comfort could make me stop, and if she died before she had finished comforting me, then I would be left to cry forever."
Author: Jean Hegland

11. "I smoked my first pipe with Seth. I knew the stuff was bad, but I was so tired of being the cop, begging and ragging at him, throwing Pampers in his face when he walked in the door. I wanted to be on the same side again. So I smoked with Seth one afternoon when the girls were napping, and oh my God, I can only think about this for a minute or every part of me will turn into a mouth wanting more: the sexiness of it, fucking Seth like wild for the first time in months, going on even when the girls started to whimper and bang on the door. Then looking out the window and seeing the world shake itself to life: the heavy trees, the sky. And I was back on top. We were going to make it, Seth and I. The voice in my head was back again, telling me stories, too many to write down or even tell one from another."
Author: Jennifer Egan

12. "Aw, kiss him, Gwen, clamored a hundred perky eggs. Shut up, she rebuked. We don't even know him, and until moments ago we thought he was dead. That's no way to start a relationship."
Author: Karen Marie Moning

13. "Volt valami a levegoben. Mintha lelassult volna az ítéloképességünk is, lazultak volna a gátlásaink. Pedig én mindig úgy gondoltam, hogy pont az ellenkezojének kellett volna történnie. Hiszen a lassulás kezdete után minden cselekedetünk valamivel több erofeszítést igényelt, mint elotte. Megváltoztak a fizikai törvényszeruségek. A kés például egy picit jobban húzta a kezet, a mutatóujj picit nehezebben simult a ravaszra. Ráadásul egy kicsit több idot is kaptunk meggondolni, amit tenni készülünk. Ki tudja, mennyi idore van szükség, hogy meggondolja magát az ember? Senki nem mérte még meg, mennyi ido kell a megbánáshoz. De a felerosödött gravitáció nem volt elég, hogy ellensúlyozni tudjon bizonyos más eroket, hatalmasabb, ismeretlenebb eroket. Az indulatokat semmiféle fizikai törvényszeruség nem tudja kordában tartani."

16. "How would this do you, Bingo?" I said at length. "A few plovers' eggs to weigh in with, a cup of soup, a touch of cold salmon, some cold curry, and a splash of gooseberry tart and cream with a bite of cheese to finish?"I don't know that I had expected the man actually to scream with delight, though I had picked the items from my knowledge of his pet dishes, but I had expected him to say something."
Author: P.G. Wodehouse

17. "I went up above the quay past the steps to the hotel. I saw a man through the window with a beer in his hand, and another man with a basket full of eggs. I was feeling heavy now, and tired, and I stood there leaning backwards with my hands crossed behind my back at the end of the breakwater before I walked on to the beach on the other side and some way along on the hard-frozen white sand. It had started to blow a bit, and it was still cold with no snow, so I took off my scarf and tied it round my head and ears and sat down in the shelter of a dune and blew into my hands to warm them before I lit a cigarette. Poker ran along the edge of the water with a seagull's wing in his mouth, and I was so young then, and I remember thinking: I'm twenty-three years old, there is nothing left in life. Only the rest."
Author: Per Petterson

18. "Rome was buzzing. Quite literally. Absolutely everyone had a mobile phone, and absolutely everybody was calling absolutely everybody else absolutely all the time. I wondered if there were some law making them compulsory. Frighteningly, it's possible, these days. I swear I saw a street beggar stop and take a call on his cellular. I even heard a trill from a baby carriage, but it turned out to be a toy mobile phone. They start dickhead training early in Italy."
Author: Rob Grant
