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 I’m hungry? Will I remember it in six months’ time? In a year? Five years from now?
    Paula Wolfert, U.S. cookbook writer. Paula Wolfert’s World of Food, Introduction, Harper and Row (1988)

    But you were not living at all,
    and I was half-living,
    so where the years blight these others,
    we, who were not of the years,
    have escaped,
    we got nowhere.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
