“There is a magic in distance. Look back at the golden lamp-lit rooms of your home from the road of your life, and it all for a moment is exactly how you hoped it would be: warm, peaceful, safe.”

“There are few things emptier than the space where a Christmas tree used to be.”

“Love and loss come in equal measure.”

“Perfume is the key to our memories”

“Brillat-Savarin, said: ‘Tell me what you eat and I’ll tell you who you are.’ He had it wrong. It’s not just what we eat that shows who we are, it’s what we buy but don’t eat that says more about the people we think we are. Or want to be. Look at the ingredients in your cupboards. All those hopes and dreams.”

“That’s what great art does—that’s why these men and women counted. It shows us what makes life worth living.”

“Your home is within you, you carry your place in the world.”

“The end is never the end. It's always the the beginning of something.”
