Era deste jaez (feliz palavra árabe, cada vez menos usada e cujo significado vem em todos os dicionários e bela expressão tão rafada em tempo de letras mais bojudas, que qualquer escritor, com uma única excepção, hesitaria em usá-la), era deste jaez, dizia (fórmula de repetição também recuperada do arsenal literário e que se destina a evitar que a atenção do leitor se distraia e comece a pensar noutras coisas, nanja no essencial), dizia (embora antes seja meu dever chamar a atenção para este magnífico "nanja", que não é de origem japonesa, mas sim de etimologia facilmente descortinável) e tendo-me eu esquecido da continuação da frase vou retomá-la, desde o início com vossa licença. ↗

Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you. ↗

— Eckhart Tolle

The French approach to food is characteristic; they bring to their consideration of the table the same appreciation, respect, intelligence and lively interest that they have for the other arts, for painting, for literature, and for the theatre. We foreigners living in France respect and appreciate this point of view but deplore their too strict observance of a tradition which will not admit the slightest deviation in a seasoning or the suppression of a single ingredient. Restrictions aroused our American ingenuity, we found combinations and replacements which pointed in new directions and created a fresh and absorbing interest in everything pertaining to the kitchen. ↗

To be able to possess a machine in such a way is the ultimate show of determination and awareness. It makes one realize that the physicality of our world is a boundary to us only if our will is weak; a true champion can accomplish things that a normal person would think impossible. ↗

Legacy is not what's left tomorrow when you're gone. It's what you give, create, impact and contribute today while you're here that then happens to live on. ↗
