I love a good quote. I find that I can be all messed up inside about something and after reading a good quote, the solution to the problem afflicting me is as clear as day.

Thought maybe some of you might have some quotes worth sharing.

I have. These are some of my favourites

Canada has no national foods which are, to have them described, frightening - for example, the Scots have haggis, and the Arabs have sheeps eyeball soup. But Canada does have Poutine: french fries covered with melted cheese curds, which are then glazed with gravy. Poutine doesn't have the immediate fear factor of haggis, but you do have to steel yourself for the first few bites. Having said this, poutine's rich content of starch, sugar, oil, fat, and salt are ideal for larding it up for a dark Quebec winter. Western Canada, which is was once thought to be poutine-proof, is now coming to embrace the dish. Next stop the world
