Famous quotes containing the word years:
“When people ask me how I develop recipes, I have to respond: travelling, eating, watching, experimenting, and constantly asking myself: Do I want to eat this dish again? Will I yearn for it some evening when Im hungry? Will I remember it in six months time? In a year? Five years from now?”
—Paula Wolfert, U.S. cookbook writer. Paula Wolferts World of Food, Introduction, Harper and Row (1988)
“It has been years since I have seen anyone who could even look as if he were in love. No ones face lights up any more except for political conversation.”
—Margaret Anderson (18861973)
