When I lived in New York and went to Chinatown, I learned that these flavors and their meanings were actually a foundation of ancient Chinese medicine.
Salty translated to fear and the frantic energy that tries to compensate for or hide it.
Sweet was the first flavor we recognized from our mother's milk, and to which we turned when we were worried and unsure or depressed.
Sour usually meant anger and frustration.
Bitter signified matters of the heart, from simply feeling unloved to the almost overwhelming loss of a great love. Most spices, along with coffee and chocolate, had some bitterness in their flavor profile. Even sugar, when it cooked too long, turned bitter. But to me, spice was for grief, because it lingered longest. ~ Judith Fertig
Claire O Neil quotes by Judith Fertig
I knew that sunny citrus helped put things in focus, sharpened the memory, just like a squeeze of lemon juice could sharpen and clarify the taste of sweet fruit. I was also well aware that too much citrus could indicate a corrosive anger. My first wedding at Rainbow Cake had taught me that. But this was a gentle, subdued citrus, like the taste of a Meyer lemon.
Spice usually indicated grief, a loss that lingered for a long time, just like the pungent flavor of the spice itself, whether it was nutmeg or allspice or star anise. The more pronounced the flavor, the more recent the loss and the stronger the emotion. So there was some kind of loss or remembrance involved here. Yet there was also a comfort in the remembering, knowing that people had gone before you. That they waited for you on the other side. ~ Judith Fertig
Claire O Neil quotes by Judith Fertig
[N]o one's ever been able to show me any difference between democracy and brute force. It's just a majority ganging up on a minority with the minority giving in to avoid getting massacred. ~ L. Neil Smith
Claire O Neil quotes by L. Neil Smith
So is it short for Doreen?" he asked. "What?" "Your name." "No. It's just Door." "How do you spell it?" "D-o-o-r. Like something you walk through to go places." "Oh." He had to say something, so he said: "What kind of a name is Door, then?" And she looked at him with her odd-colored eyes, and she said, "My name." Then she went back to Jane Austen. ~ Neil Gaiman
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Gaiman
This is too complicated. What about I shoot him? If he comes back, he really likes me. ~ John Ringo
Claire O Neil quotes by John Ringo
o prayer, the alternative is penicillin; to family roots, the alternative is mobility; to reading, the alternative is television; to restraint, the alternative is immediate gratification; to sin, the alternative is psychotherapy; to political ideology, the alternative is popular appeal established through scientific polling. ~ Neil Postman
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Postman
You deny it all you want, but you are mine. Call it passion, call it obsession, call it whatever pleases you, but you run hot and wild in my blood, Katherine-I cannot give you up. ~ Brenda Joyce
Claire O Neil quotes by Brenda Joyce
They'd drink like men, like their fathers and uncles, like George fucking Washington ... ~ Claire Vaye Watkins
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Vaye Watkins
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your 21 y/o self? Answer: Think about your actions. They have consequences. ~ Claire Contreras
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Contreras
Somehow it's O.K. for people to chuckle about not being good at math. Yet if I said, 'I never learned to read,' they'd say I was an illiterate dolt. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Since I was a kid. I had this series by Ballantine Books about the history of World Wars I and II. In my 20s, it was the Vietnam War literature of novelists like Tim O'Brien, Philip Caputo, and Tobias Wolff, and then nonfiction such as "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan and "The Best and Brightest" by David Halberstam . Those are the two best histories of Vietnam. ~ George Packer
Claire O Neil quotes by George Packer
I make the surprised O with my mouth, although I am not really that surprised. It was the kind of story that grownups tell children to complicate a thing when they could just tell you the thing itself, much faster. ~ Claire King
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire King
Now, if you don't mind, send one my way. Bob is getting tired."
"Who's Bob? You've not told me about a Bob," Sophie said, a little hurt.
"I have too," Claire said and gave her a little shove in the arm. "Bob is Battery Operated Boyfriend, B.O.B. ~ Donna Grant
Claire O Neil quotes by Donna Grant
The secret o' health, happiness and success is deep breathing, buttermilk instead o' beer, your bedroom window open, a penny a week and a mind weel disciplined. ~ Neil Munro
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Munro
Dear Mr. Peter Van Houten
(c/o Lidewij Vliegenthart),

My name is Hazel Grace Lancaster. My friend Augustus Waters, who read An Imperial Affliction at my recommendationtion, just received an email from you at this address. I hope you will not mind that Augustus shared that email with me.

Mr. Van Houten, I understand from your email to Augustus that you are not planning to publish any more books. In a way, I am disappointed, but I'm also relieved: I never have to worry whether your next book will live up to the magnificent perfection of the original. As a three-year survivor of Stage IV cancer, I can tell you that you got everything right in An Imperial Affliction. Or at least you got me right. Your book has a way of telling me what I'm feeling before I even feel it, and I've reread it dozens of times.

I wonder, though, if you would mind answering a couple questions I have about what happens after the end of the novel. I understand the book ends because Anna dies or becomes too ill to continue writing it, but I would really like to mom-wether she married the Dutch Tulip Man, whether she ever has another child, and whether she stays at 917 W. Temple etc. Also, is the Dutch Tulip Man a fraud or does he really love them? What happens to Anna's friends-particularly Claire and Jake? Do they stay that this is the kind of deep and thoughtful question you always hoped your readers would ask-what becomes of Sisyphus the Hamster? These questio ~ John Green
Claire O Neil quotes by John Green
I have been to the speed of God, sir ... and I discommend it. ~ John Ringo
Claire O Neil quotes by John Ringo
Filmmaking creates a sort of - trust, maybe. It has led me to a group of people I feel good with. We have something in common because of film, when otherwise we might have nothing. ~ Claire Denis
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Denis
Uranus was almost named George. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Having talent isn't merely about being competent; confidence is actually a part of that talent. ~ Claire Shipman
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Shipman
I am the eldest child; it's lonely at the top. ~ Claire Denis
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Denis
I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians. ~ Neil Young
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Young
Science is not a subject you took in school. It's life. We are wrapped by it, in it, with it. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Literature does not occur in a vacuum. It cannot be a monologue. It has to be a conversation, and new people, new readers, need to be brought into the conversation too. ~ Neil Gaiman
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Gaiman
To make any future that we dreamt up real requires creative scientists, engineers, and technologists to make it happen. If people are not within your midst who dream about tomorrow - with the capacity to bring tomorrow into the present - then the country might as well just recede back into the cave because that's where we're headed. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Goodnight world. While I sleep, I hope you'll all continue to do whatever it is you do. Unless you murder sleeping authors. Don't do that. ~ Neil Gaiman
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Gaiman
I'm sorry." Nicky sent a pleading look at Neil to save him from his thoughtlessness. Neil didn't have to intervene, because Allison followed Nicky's frantic glance to Neil. "You do like the mountains, don't you?"
"I cut through them once," Neil said. "We didn't stay. Is this really okay?"
"Is it okay, he says," Dan said, "like we didn't all just invite ourselves to his vacation. ~ Nora Sakavic
Claire O Neil quotes by Nora Sakavic
Claire stretched out against the wall and kissed it. "Glad to see you, too," she whispered, and pressed her cheek against the smooth surface. It almost felt like it hugged her back.
"Dude, it's a house," Shane said from behind her. "Hug somebody who cares. ~ Rachel Caine
Claire O Neil quotes by Rachel Caine
She was the sort of person whose mood preceded her into the room whenever she arrived, an extra presence that could not be ignored. ~ Claire Tomalin
Claire O Neil quotes by Claire Tomalin
I wonder, Are fictions safe places? And then I ask myself, Should they be safe places? ~ Neil Gaiman
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Gaiman
He was a nice guy, middle-aged, a little tired, like most doctors usually seemed to be, but he just nodded and said,
"Let me take a look at him. Shane?"
"I'm not dropping my pants," Shane said. "I just thought I'd say that up front. ~ Rachel Caine
Claire O Neil quotes by Rachel Caine
I am afraid of him now. The one I love most in the world. ~ Neil Jordan
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Jordan
Creepy? I've been called many things, but I think that's the first time someone has called me creepy."
Claire tried to hide her smile, 'To your face. ~ Aleatha Romig Truth
Claire O Neil quotes by Aleatha Romig Truth
She covered her body with a feather, reached under her legs, and threw her panties into the audience. A flying herpes rag. A hipster with mutton-chop sideburns caught it. He crumpled it in his fist and thrust it into the air excitedly. His little venereal prize. A ~ Neil Strauss
Claire O Neil quotes by Neil Strauss
