three more quotes I saved years ago

To know one drop is the first step to know the boundless ocean

Światosław Wojtkowiak

 

 There are two types of women – those who like chocolates and complete bitches.


Dawn French

 

 And what is empty turns its face to us and whispers: 'I am not empty, I am open.

Tomas Tranströmer 

 

The link between the first and the third quote I had saved way back in 2014, is of course chocolate and the lamentable fact that I haven't been able to digest any, not even the tiniest crumb, without painful side effects. Like the fool Iam, and also because I am not a complete bitch, I do nibble the occasional bit - the man has a vast supply - and pay the price and I tell myself, I am open, the ocean of colic is boundless.

  3. What is it about chocolate that does that to you? Cocoa itself? Or the sugar and whatever oil/fat in it? I don't care much for milk chocolate but dark semi-sweet? Yes though I don't eat much of that either.

    first quote reminded me of what my father would say when we complained about something being too hard. How do you walk to (any given destination)? One step at a time. Not really the same thing I suppose.

    I do like that last one. Not empty, open.

  4. I just ate a toblerone - I was going to stretch it out over the week, Just one triangle a day sort of thing. but I needed more- to keep the bitch at bay, you understand. I am sorry You can not eat chocolate- it is probably a good thing - better for a longer life having no chocolate or sugar. ...they say...
