Fear not the path of Truth for the lack of People walking on it. ~ Robert F. Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Robert F. Kennedy
I am more modest now, but I still think that one of the pleasantest of all emotions is to know that I, I with my brain and my hands, have nourished my beloved few, that I have concocted a stew or a story, a rarity or a plain dish, to sustain them truly against the hungers of the world. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
The world, more suffering than sinning, turns toward Pope Francis as in a conversation people turn to the person who is making sense of things. ~ Eugene Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Eugene Kennedy
The stove, the bins, the cupboards, I had learned forever, make an inviolable throne room. From them I ruled; temporarily I controlled. I felt powerful, and I loved that feeling. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
I cannot count the good people I know who, to my mind, would be even better if they bent their spirits to the study of their own hungers. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
There are very few men and women, I suspect, who cooked and marketed their way through the past war without losing forever some of the nonchalant extravagance of the Twenties. They will feel, until their final days on earth, a kind of culinary caution: butter, no matter how unlimited, is a precious substance not lightly to be wasted; meats, too, and eggs, and all the far-brought spices of the world, take on a new significance, having once been so rare. And that is good, for there can be no more shameful carelessness than with the food we eat for life itself When we exist without thought or thanksgiving we are not men, but beasts. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
I follow Plato only with my mind
Pure beauty strikes me as a little thin
A little cold, however beautiful.
I am in love with what is mixed and impure
Doubtful, dark and hard to disencumber
I want beauty I must dig for, search for.
Pure beauty is beginning and not end
Begin with the sun and drop from sun to cloud
From cloud to tree, and from tree to earth itself
And deeper yet to the earth dark root.
I am in love with what resists my loving
With what I have to labor to make live. ~ Robert Francis
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Robert Francis
Like most humans, I am hungry ... our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it ... ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
From his first hours as pope, Francis has re-enacted or spoken of the great pastoral transformation of Vatican II as his own agenda. ~ Eugene Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Eugene Kennedy
Dining partners, regardless of gender, social standing, or the years they've lived, should be chosen for their ability to eat - and drink! - with the right mixture of abandon and restraint. They should enjoy food, and look upon its preparation and its degustation as one of the human arts. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
For me there is too little of life to spend most of it forcing myself into detachment from it. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
In 1945, Oppenheimer posited that what happened during the Trinity Test was due to 'Time Tunnels.' A 50-year 'time tunnel."

"So, in 1945, you could send a soldier 50 years back?"

"Exactly. Well, except for the fact that at the time we didn't know if we ever could deliberately send something or someone, but we were already sure it was a one-way trip. ~ Francis Barel
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Francis Barel
I used to think in my Russian-novel days, that I would cherish a lover who managed through thick and thin, snow and sleet, to have a bunch of Parma violets on my breakfast tray each morning
also rain or shine, Christmas or August, and onward into complete Neverland. Later, I shifted my dream plan
a split of cold champagne one half hour before the tray! Violets, sparkling wine, and trays themselves were as nonexistent as the lover(s), of course, but once again, Why not? ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
The only brotherhood they belonged to was the one that asked that enduring question: How do I get through the next twenty minutes? They feared drys, cops, jailers, bosses, moralists, crazies, truth-tellers, and one another. they loved storytellers, liars, whores, fighters, singers, collie dogs that wagged their tails, and generous bandits. Rudy, thought Francis: he's just a bum, but who ain't? ~ William Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by William Kennedy
There are a thousand small honest breweries in this country that because they have been too poor and localized to compete with the big boys have been forced to close, or else operate under famous names while they turn out yeast, or hops, or some other important but unnamed ingredient of the main company's beer. Now, with the trains full of soldiers and supplies rather than pale ale, perhaps people far from the great breweries will turn again to their local beer factories and discover, as their fathers did thirty years ago, that a beer carried quietly three miles is better than one shot across three thousand on a fast freight. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
It is easy to think of potatoes, and fortunately for men who have not much money it is easy to think of them with a certain safety. Potatoes are one of the last things to disappear, in times of war, which is probably why they should not be forgotten in times of peace. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Really, what I'm doing is an attempt to continue the best work of the people I adore: Francis Coppola and Scorsese and Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick and those amazing directors whose work I grew up with and loved. ~ James Gray
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by James Gray
Our dispassionate acceptance of attrition ... [can] be matched by a full use of everything that has ever happened in all the long wonderful-ghastly years to free a person's mind from his body. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
There is a kind of gaping admiration that would fain roll Shakespeare and Bacon into one, to have a bigger thing to gape at; and a class of men who cannot edit one author without disparaging all others. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Pope Francis has aimed a blow at what the whole hierarchical system is built on: a graded system with the higher clergy in the skyboxes, the devoted religious in festival seating, as they say of the crowds at rock concerts, and, on the bottom, the laity in standing room only. ~ Eugene Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Eugene Kennedy
Marco smiles, they shake hands, and Robert Blackfeather Sherman sees it again, as he did when Marco knelt before him just a few minutes ago: The light warps around Marco Angelo Oliveira; the colors of the trees and sky stretch and smear, as if Marco is an empty place in the shape of a man and the earth and air around him are screaming to fill it. ~ Brian Francis Slattery
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Brian Francis Slattery
I believe that one of the most dignified ways we are capable of, to assert the reassert our dignity in the face of poverty and war's fears and pains, is to nourish ourselves with all possible skill, delicacy, and ever increasing enjoyment. And with our gastronomical growth will come, inevitably, knowledge and perception of a hundred other things, but mainly of ourselves. Then Fate, even tangled as it is with cold wars as well as hot, cannot harm us. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
I have spent my life in a painstaking effort to tell about things as they are to me, so that they will not sound like autobiography but simply like notes, like factual reports. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
You can still live with grace and wisdom thanks partly to the many people who write about how to do it and perhaps talk overmuch about riboflavin and economy, and partly to your own innate sense of what you must do with the resources you have, to keep the wolf from snuffing to hungrily through the keyhole. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
I think that when two people are able to weave that kind of invisible thread of understanding and sympathy between each other, that delicate web, they should not risk tearing it. It is too rare, and it lasts too short a time at best ... ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
It took me several years of such periods of being alone to learn how to care for myself, at least at table. I came to believe that since nobody else dared feed me as I wished to be fed, I must do it myself, and with as much aplomb as I could muster. Enough of hit-and-miss suppers of tinned soup and boxed biscuits and an occasional egg just because I had failed once more to rate an invitation! ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
A writing cook and a cooking writer must be bold at the desk as well as the stove. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight ...
[Breadmaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells ... there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of
meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Pope Francis reminds us of Pope John XXIII because both men share the same lack of self-consciousness, and neither needs to keep his guard up through the use of psychological defenses such as rationalization, projection or intellectualization. ~ Eugene Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Eugene Kennedy
First we eat, then we do everything else. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
When our boulevards are lined with an infinity of bad eating houses filled with dead-faced people placed like mute beasts in their stalls; today, when one out of every three marriages ends in divorce ... It seems incredible that normal human beings not only tolerate the average American restaurant food, but actually prefer it to eating at home. The only possible explanation for such deliberate mass-poisoning, a kind of suicide of the spirit as well as the body, is that meals in the intimacy of a family dining-room or kitchen are unbearable. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Having bowed to the inevitability of the dictum that we must eat to live, we should ignore it and live to eat ... ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
I sat in the gradually chilling room, thinking of my whole past the way a drowning man is supposed to, and it seemed part of the present, part of the gray cold and the beggar woman without a face and the moulting birds frozen to their own filth in the Orangerie. I know now I was in the throes of some small glandular crisis, a sublimated bilious attack, a flick from the whip of melancholia, but then it was terrifying ... nameless ... ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Perhaps they should feel this safe sand blow away so that their heads are uncovered for a time, so that they will have to taste not only the solid honesty of my red borscht, but the new flavor of the changing world. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Painting, it is true, was undergoing a series of -isms reminiscent of the whims of a pregnant woman. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
But I can say just as surely that this minute, in a northern-California valley, I can taste-smell-hear-see and feel between my teeth the potato chips I ate slowly one November afternoon in 1936, in the bar of the Lausanne Palace. They were uneven in both thickness and color, probably made by a new apprentice in the hotel kitchen, and almost surely they smelled faintly of either chicken or fish, for that was always the case there. They were a little too salty, to encourage me to drink. They were ineffable. I am still nourished by them. That is probably why I can be so firm about not eating my way through barrels, tunnels, mountains more of them here in the land where they hang like square cellophane fruit on wire trees in all grocery stores, to tempt me sharply every time I pass them. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
You may feel that you have eaten too much ... But this pastry is like
feathers - it is like snow. It is in fact good for you, a digestive! ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it ... and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied ... and it is all one. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Probably one of the most private things in the world is an egg before it is broken. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
If I were rich, I would buy him a new black suit ... If I had next week's allowance and had not spent this week's on three Cherry Flips ... ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
It's really fine that you found a good archivist to do the basically difficult and at times harrowing work of cleaning out old papers. I hope you keep her digging into all the old boxes as long as there is ONE left. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
A 22-caliber bullet can travel as fast as 1,022 mph. I learned that at Quantico.
However, the bullet that hit him probably traveled at 818 mph. Sound travels at 761 mph. I hear the bullet after I see the shot enter his head.
But in my mind it all goes so fast that it's just a single message. ~ Francis Barel
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Francis Barel
Frames 221 to 223: The motorcade is now in front of the camera lens, moving ever so slowly.
The President and First Lady are waving to the crowd. The President almost stands up to send kisses to a few ladies in the front rows, but the First Lady holds him by the arm.
The President sits back comfortably in his Lincoln. He is enjoying himself terribly. ~ Francis Barel
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Francis Barel
It was one of the best meals we ever ate.
Perhaps that is because it was the first conscious one, for me at least; but the fact that we remember it with such queer clarity must mean that it had other reasons for being important. I suppose that happens at least once to every human. I hope so.
Now the hills are cut through with superhighways, and I can't say whether we sat that night in Mint Canyon or Bouquet, and the three of us are in some ways even more than twenty-five years older than we were then. And still the warm round peach pie and the cool yellow cream we ate together that August night live in our hearts' palates, succulent, secret, delicious. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Robert Francis Kennedy quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
The whole world feels that it knows Francis, not so much because he follows Francis of Assisi but because he is always himself. We have seen him pay his own hotel bill and heard that Francis called Buenos Aires for a pair of ordinary black shoes, like John XXIII, who preferred stout peasant shoes to the traditional papal footwear. ~ Eugene Kennedy
