"It was there, I now understand, that I started to grow up, to study, to make love, to eat and drink,
to be me and not what I was expected to be.
It was there that I learned it is blessed to receive, as well as that every human being, no matter how base, is worthy of my respect and even envy because he knows something that I may never be old or wise or kind or tender enough to know.
M.F.K. Fisher -from the preface Long Ago in France
