• Me doy cuenta de que los recuerdos que más aprecio no son los éxitos de la primera noche, sino las cosas sencillas y cotidianas: pasear por nuestro jardín en el campo después de llover; sentarnos a la puerta de un café en la Provenza, bebiendo el vin de pays; alojarnos en un hotelito de una ciudad de mercado inglesa con Larry, en los primeros días después de nuestro matrimonio, cuando él servía en la Fleet Air Arm y yo estaba de gira por Escocia, de modo que teníamos que hacer largas caminatas para pasar los fines de semana juntos.

• No one is as real to me as people in the novel. It grows like a living thing. When I realize they do not exist except in my mind I have a feeling of sadness, looking around for them, as if the half-empty cafe were a place I had once come to with friends who had all moved away.

• A collective insanity seemed to have seized the nation and turned them into something worse than beasts. The princess de Lamballe, Marie Antoinette's intimate friend, was literally torn to pieces; her head, breasts, and pudenda were paraded on pikes before the windows of the Temple, where the royal family was imprisoned, while a man boasted drunkenly at a cafe that he had eaten the princess' heart, which he probably had.

• I wrote 'Millie's Cafe' driving out of Ft. Worth, Texas one time. I was in a dust storm in my old bus. Beer inside. It was like a sailboat, you know...we couldn't see anything. Some things about Texas are so different than Ontario. I was just thinking about how different it is from where I live and, you know, whatever happens to inspire a song happened.

• The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.

• The food in the House of Commons is fairly good. The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality, and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants, the Churchill Room or the Members' Dining Room. I don't often eat in them, though, as I'm usually on the run.

• I'm actually a hardcore otaku who likes maids more than having three meals a day. And I only read books related to maids. Also, I only visit maid cafes. Of course, I also collect maid figurines. I play games which feature female maids and it turns me on so much. Then I'll wear the maid uniforms and jump in joy. I'll take my leave now.

• Había algo en estar cerca de Grahame Coats que siempre hacía que el gordo Charlie (a) hablara con clichés y (b) empezara a soñar despierto con enormes helicópteros negros que primero abrían fuego y luego dejaban caer cubos de napalm en llamas sobre las oficinas de la agencia Grahame Coats. El gordo Charlie no estaría en la oficina en esas ensoñaciones. Estaría sentado en una silla fuera de un pequeño café al otro lado de Aldwych, sorbiendo un café espumoso y animando de vez en cuando a un cubo de napalm excepcionalmente bien lanzado.

• That abominable and sensual act called reading the newspaper, thanks to which all the misfortunes and cataclysms in the universe over the last twenty-four hours, the battles which cost the lives of fifty-thousand men, the murders, the strikes, the bankruptcies, the fires, the poisonings, the suicides, the divorces, the cruel emotions of statesmen and actors, are transformed for us, who don't even care, into a morning treat, blending in wonderfully, in a particularly exciting and tonic way, with the recommended ingestion of a few sips of cafe au lait.

• Marco Rubio calificó la propuesta de Trump de prohibir a todos los musulmanes de "ofensiva y extravagante", y es el mismo Rubio que se sumó a la promesa de Trump de cerrar mezquitas. El Sr. Rubio decía que cerraría no solo las mezquitas, sino cualquier lugar donde los musulmanes pudieran radicalizarse: cafeterías, comedores, cualquier lugar.

• In Israel, there's a lot to learn from anyone, because to live there you've got to deal with the truth. Things happen real fast. Your day goes from cool to catastrophic in one second. Israelis know that the cafe you're in could blow up, or the shopping mall, and they rock that.

• Moammar Gadhafi es el hombre que mató a esos americanos sobre Lockerbie, Escocia. Moammar Gadhafi es también el hombre que bombardeó ese café en Berlín y mató a esos marines. ¿Y quieren saber por qué Moammar Gadhafi empezó a cooperar en su programa nuclear? Porque nos deshicimos de Saddam Hussein. Y entonces tuvo miedo de ser el siguiente, y por eso empezó a cooperar.

• My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt.

• 'The Night Cafe' and 'The Starry Night' still emit such pathos, density, and intensity that they send shivers down the spine. Whether Van Gogh thought in color or felt with his intellect, the radical color, dynamic distortion, heart, soul, and part-by-part structure in these paintings make him a bridge to a new vision and the vision itself.

• Meanwhile it's got stormy, the tattered fog even thicker, chasing across my path. Three people are sitting in a glassy tourist cafe between clouds and clouds, protected by glass from all sides. Since I don't see any waiters, it crosses my mind that corpses have been sitting there for weeks, statuesque. All this time the cafe has been unattended, for sure. Just how long have they been sitting here, petrified like this?

• When I lived in the city, I had learned to close my door against a lot of the noise, but when I open my door here, I'm not opening into the possibility that I'm going to run into somebody or be faced with a hundred choices about what I'm going to do, or which cafe I'm going to go to, or which way to distract myself.
