“The Oak Forest mushrooms for the langoustine didn't arrive in time, so we've substituted with enoki mushrooms from Champagne Farms. Also, we are adding an entrée to the menu tonight. It's lemon pine-nut-encrusted sea scallops with a celery mousse and my signature vinaigrette. It took three months to get it right, and the end result is phenomenal. So sell it." Alain paused while the servers took notes. "In wines, we're out of the Napa Valley El Molino, the Talenti, and the Chateau Margeaux '86."
Alain paused and, while the servers wrote furiously in their pads, my thoughts wandered. I tried picturing the customers who might have opinions about Oak Forest mushrooms compared to those from Champagne Farms. Did they wear tweed and bifocals? Or were they übermodern with sculpured haircuts and electronic cigarettes? I shook my head, annoyed with myself and my train of thought.
Let the mushroom people be mushroom people
, I chastised myself.
You signed up for this gig, Charlie, remember? You're living your dream, remember?
Alain changed gears for a second and threw out a quiz question, one of his more sadistic rituals during family meal. "What are the six ingredients in the jalapeño emulsion we serve with the salmon?"
Silence. A blonde in the back ventured, "Jalapeño, olive oil, shallots...?"
More silence.
"Fleur de sel, ground pepper, lemon juice," Alain finished for her, giving her an icy glance over his bearish nose. "Wake up, people. All right, here's an easy one. What's the difference between
jamón ibérico
and prosciutto?"
Four hands went up, and Wade got it right.
"
Jamón ibérico
is dry-cured from black Iberian pigs in Spain, not to be confused with
jamón serrano
, which comes from a less expensive white pig. Prosciutto is also dry-cured, but it is from Italy. It is the common man's gourmet ham, which is why we don't serve it." Wade finished with a cock of the head and a high-five with another server.
Alain snorted. "Thank you for the editorial comment. Please keep it to yourself, however, when recommending the melon and
jamón ibérico
appetizer."
He spent the next five minutes grilling the staff on the origin of our rice vinegar, what dessert wine paired best with Felix's raspberry brûlée, and the correct serving temperature of the parsnip purée.”

Siddhartha
“So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.”

“To understand, I destroyed myself. To understand is to forget about loving. I know nothing more simultaneously false and telling than the statement by Leonardo da Vinci that we cannot love or hate something until we’ve understood it.
Solitude devastates me; company oppresses me. The presence of another person derails my thoughts; I dream of the other’s presence with a strange absent-mindedness that no amount of my analytical scrutiny can define.
Isolation has carved me in its image and likeness. The presence of another person – of any person whatsoever – instantly slows down my thinking, and while for a normal man contact with others is a stimulus to spoken expression and wit, for me it is a counterstimulus, if this compound word be linguistically permissible. When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Yes, talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial, and in them intelligence gleams like an image in a mirror.
The mere thought of having to enter into contact with someone else makes me nervous. A simple invitation to have dinner with a friend produces an anguish in me that’s hard to define. The idea of any social obligation whatsoever – attending a funeral, dealing with someone about an office matter, going to the station to wait for someone I know or don’t know – the very idea disturbs my thoughts for an entire day, and sometimes I even start worrying the night before, so that I sleep badly. When it takes place, the dreaded encounter is utterly insignificant, justifying none of my anxiety, but the next time is no different: I never learn to learn.
‘My habits are of solitude, not of men.’ I don’t know if it was Rousseau or Senancour who said this. But it was some mind of my species, it being perhaps too much to say of my race.”
The Book Of Disquiet
John Bowlby and Attachment Theory
“A securely attached child will store an internal working model of a responsive, loving, reliable care-giver, and of a self that is worthy of love and attention and will bring these assumptions to bear on all other relationships. Conversely, an insecurely attached child may view the world as a dangerous place in which other people are to be treated with great caution, and see himself as ineffective and unworthy of love. These assumptions are relatively stable and enduring: those built up in the early years of life are particularly persistent and unlikely to be modified by subsequent experience.”

Adina
“Her pretty name of Adina seemed to me to have somehow a mystic fitness to her personality.
Behind a cold shyness, there seemed to lurk a tremulous promise to be franker when she knew you better.
Adina is a strange child; she is fanciful without being capricious.
She was stout and fresh-coloured, she laughed and talked rather loud, and generally, in galleries and temples, caused a good many stiff British necks to turn round.
She had a mania for excursions, and at Frascati and Tivoli she inflicted her good-humoured ponderosity on diminutive donkeys with a relish which seemed to prove that a passion for scenery, like all our passions, is capable of making the best of us pitiless.
Adina may not have the shoulders of the Venus of Milo...but I hope it will take more than a bauble like this to make her stoop.
Adina espied the first violet of the year glimmering at the root of a cypress. She made haste to rise and gather it, and then wandered further, in the hope of giving it a few companions. Scrope sat and watched her as she moved slowly away, trailing her long shadow on the grass and drooping her head from side to side in her charming quest. It was not, I know, that he felt no impulse to join her; but that he was in love, for the moment, with looking at her from where he sat. Her search carried her some distance and at last she passed out of sight behind a bend in the villa wall.
I don't pretend to be sure that I was particularly struck, from this time forward, with something strange in our quiet Adina. She had always seemed to me vaguely, innocently strange; it was part of her charm that in the daily noiseless movement of her life a mystic undertone seemed to murmur "You don't half know me! Perhaps we three prosaic mortals were not quite worthy to know her: yet I believe that if a practised man of the world had whispered to me, one day, over his wine, after Miss Waddington had rustled away from the table, that there was a young lady who, sooner or later, would treat her friends to a first class surprise, I should have laid my finger on his sleeve and told him with a smile that he phrased my own thought. .."That beautiful girl," I said, "seems to me agitated and preoccupied."
"That beautiful girl is a puzzle. I don't know what's the matter with her; it's all very painful; she's a very strange creature. I never dreamed there was an obstacle to our happiness--to our union. She has never protested and promised; it's not her way, nor her nature; she is always humble, passive, gentle; but always extremely grateful for every sign of tenderness. Till within three or four days ago, she seemed to me more so than ever; her habitual gentleness took the form of a sort of shrinking, almost suffering, deprecation of my attentions, my petits soins, my lovers nonsense. It was as if they oppressed and mortified her--and she would have liked me to bear more lightly. I did not see directly that it was not the excess of my devotion, but my devotion itself--the very fact of my love and her engagement that pained her. When I did it was a blow in the face. I don't know what under heaven I've done! Women are fathomless creatures. And yet Adina is not capricious, in the common sense...
.So these are peines d'amour?" he went on, after brooding a moment. "I didn't know how fiercely I was in love!"
Scrope stood staring at her as she thrust out the crumpled note: that she meant that Adina--that Adina had left us in the night--was too large a horror for his unprepared sense...."Good-bye to everything! Think me crazy if you will. I could never explain. Only forget me and believe that I am happy, happy, happy! Adina Beati."...
Love is said to be par excellence the egotistical passion; if so Adina was far gone. "I can't promise to forget you," I said; "you and my friend here deserve to be remembered!”
Adina
1984
“Cuando iban por ti era siempre de noche. Siempre de noche. Lo mejor era suicidarse antes de que lo detuvieran a uno. Sin duda había gente que lo hacía. Muchas de las desapariciones eran suicidios. Pero hacía falta valor para matarse en un mundo en el que resultaba imposible conseguir armas de fuego o cualquier veneno eficaz y mortífero. Pensó con una especie de perplejidad en la inutilidad biológica del miedo y del dolor, la traición del cuerpo humano que siempre se queda paralizado en el preciso instante en que es necesario hacer un esfuerzo especial [...].Se le ocurrió que en los momentos de crisis uno nunca lucha contra un enemigo externo, sino contra su propio cuerpo [...]. Y lo mismo ocurre, comprendió, en todas las situaciones aparentemente trágicas o heroicas. En el campo de batalla, en la cámara de tortura, en un barco que se hunde, los motivos por los que uno lucha pasan a un segundo plano porque el cuerpo llena el universo, e incluso cuando no estás paralizado por el miedo o gritando de dolor, la vida es una lucha momentánea contra el hambre, el frío o el sueño, contra un dolor de estómago o de muelas.”

Life in a Medieval City
“Sometimes the pagan spirit of Roman poetry arouses qualms. Guibert of Nogent confesses in his autobiography that early in his monastic life he took up verse making and even fell into "certain obscene words and composed brief writings, worthless and immodest, in fact bereft of all decency," before abandoning this shocking practice in favor of commentaries on the Scriptures.”

“LinkedIn Marketing: Finest Lead Gen Technique
If we put it most simply, lead generation is the primary function of the sales funnel. To cultivate interest in a product or a service, attracting and converting the customers is the primary purpose.
One of the earliest social media platforms, LinkedIn can also be your go-to medium for the marketing purpose of your business. LinkedIn Marketing is becoming dominant in the social media marketing industry, no wonder why 55 million companies are listed on LinkedIn.
Before you market your product or service on LinkedIn, there's one thing that should be cherished foremost: Marketing Strategy.
All the social media platforms are distinct and work on different algorithms. There's a gigantic difference between the audiences of each of them. People on Instagram or Facebook are rather non-identical with those on LinkedIn. So, a different marketing strategy is designated according to every social media platform to generate profitable results.
With an accurate marketing strategy and best advice, you will be all set to start your marketing campaign on LinkedIn. But, why should you try your hands in marketing on a social networking platform like LinkedIn, or simply, how will marketing on LinkedIn benefit you?
Lead generation is regarded as a substantial factor while marketing. If the number of leads generated resembles a goose egg, your marketing tactic is considered unfruitful. Every marketing campaign will have a definite end goal- lead generation. Many companies switch to marketing tactics like brand awareness or huge webinars. Generating leads and conversion are critical factors without which no company can survive in the market. This article will help you find out the exact reasons why you should take out time and switch to LinkedIn Marketing.
Read the reasons mentioned below and find the perfect one to get started now!”

“Political winds change . . .' Signor Stronzo Troia indicated.
Those “political winds” stir to feed their financially hungry pockets.
Those “political winds” stir toward where they can extract or beg funds, and strongest political backings to serve their political agenda most especially even years before an upcoming election.
Would you trust power player dishonest politicians who hide under a halo of magnetising advocacy but at the same time who cover up unscrupulous political movers, black propagandists, Machiavellian manipulators, digital aggressors, political bullies, smear campaigns, and finance smear campaigners through their global strings of unscrupulous, habitually abusive, financial political parasites?
Follow their money trail and you will discover their endless dishonesty, and their hidden, darker true characters: unscrupulous, vindictive, destructive, invasive, intrusive, offensive, and habitually abusive, greedy power players, Machiavellian manipulators with impaired conscience.

The Anti-Social Family
“Page 78
The family sucks the juice out of everything around it, leaving other institutions stunted and distorted.
Page 75
Deep-seated differences between the sexes do tend to be reproduced from generation to generation by the fact that children are reared by a pair of differentiated parents and the parameters of their sexual orientation are set in the context of their early relations with those parents. But our unbalanced pattern of sexuality is also an integral part of a thriving marriage system that still enshrines male power and female dependence. Until that form of family disappears, sexual enjoyment will continue to be a male privilege and it will continue to take the form of sexual possession. Clearly, then, it remains necessary, as the early socialists recognized, to separate sex love from these economic ties and allow it to flourish in its own right.
Page 52-53
The Oneida community, founded in New York State in 1848, consciously rejected the family and marriage as being inimical to a full communal life. The biblical text, ‘In heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage’, was taken as justification for ‘complex marriage’ in which all the men and women of the community were joined. Heterosexual relations between any of them were encouraged; long-term pairing was discouraged. Children were cared for in a children’s house soon after they were weaned, visiting their own parents only once or twice a week. Their founder John Humphrey Noyes saw a very clear contradiction between intense family feelings and community feeling. He believed that ‘the great problem of socialism now is, whether the existence of the marital family is compatible with that of the universal family, which the term “community” signifies.”

“Actually believe in your potential. You spend all day and all night daydreaming and sometimes talking to yourself... out loud, which people can see by the way so maybe consider stopping that, about all the things you wish you could be and do, but instead you doubt yourself and say its impossible, and instead of following your unrealistic dreams, you should accept that you're an average person that will never get lucky and should just do what the world seems to have laid out for you like.. study law at University.
That's not gonna go down well, just trust me there. You are a horrific procrastinator and one day you will just mature enough to look past what you have been told about the world, and decide to take it into your own hands, and that will finally make you happy.”

“Art is the conversation between lovers.
Art offers an opening for the heart.
True art makes the divine silence in the soul
Break into applause.
Art is, at last, the knowledge of
Where we are standing –
Where we are standing
In this Wonderland
When we rip off all our clothes
And this blind man's patch, veil,
That got tied across our brow.
Art is the conversation between lovers.
True art awakes the
Extraordinary

“Ik besloot te gaan vissen, oftewel te schoorsteenvegen.
Je vraagt een patiënt zich te concentreren op een emotioneel overbeladen herinneringsflard terwijl hij je heen en weer bewegende vingers met de blik volgt en vervolgens zijn gedachtestroom uitspreekt. Ofwel mondt die uit in een leegte, en wanneer de patiënt een "bodyscan" uitvoert (het mentaal overlopen van zijn verschillende lichaamszones), blijkt alle spanning verdwenen. Ofwel botst hij op een ander beeld dat beladen is met spanning en het uitgangspunt wordt voor een nieuwe reeks. De interventies van de therapeut blijven beperkt tot het ingang zetten van het proces, het aanmoedigen om door te gaan, en vooral het vestigen van de aandacht op de lichaamservaringen en het vragen naar een "bodyscan".”

“Mi stai salutando?”.
“Sì”.
“Dopo mesi di mie lettere dove ho messo a nudo la mia anima la tua risposta si riduce a tre messaggi sul cellulare?”.
“Sì”.
“Mi sembra un rapporto sbilanciato il nostro”.
“Il nostro non è un rapporto”.
“E cos'è?”.
Non risponde, così digito un altro messaggio.
“Vuoi discettare in merito all'etimologia della parola rapporto? perché se vuoi una discussione in merito io ho un sacco di tempo, sono bloccata in questo letto”.
“Non voglio una discussione. Però mi fa piacere leggere che utilizzi termini come discettare. Vuol dire che i soldi che impiego per la tua istruzione sono ben spesi”.
“Non hai risposto alla mia prima domanda”.
“E non intendo farlo. Riposati e guarisci. Attendo il tuo articolo la prossima settimana”.
Ma tu pensa questo.
Mi sta scaricando.
Ma è folle se pensa che lo mollo adesso che ho ottenuto un cenno di riscontro.
Anche se devo dire piuttosto scarno.
“Posso scriverti su questo numero se ho voglia di parlare con te?”.
“No”.
“E se io lo facessi lo stesso?”.
“Non ti risponderei”.
“E cosa c'è di nuovo?”.
“Hai intenzione di polemizzare ancora molto?”.
“È l'unico modo che ho per avere un po' di attenzione da te”.
“Non è vero. E tu lo sai”.
“Mesi di lettere e non mi hai mai risposto”.
“Le ho lette tutte”.
“Ma io non potevo saperlo perché tu non mi hai mai scritto nemmeno una riga. Passi il fatto che non vuoi che ti conosca di persona. Oppure che non vuoi un mio ringraziamento. Ma almeno di conoscere il tuo nome di battesimo me lo potresti concedere”.
“Mi hai assegnato tu un nome. Anche se è orribile”.
“Non ti piace mister D.?”.
“Sembra il nome di un rapper”.
“E deduco non ti piaccia nemmeno il rap”.
“No”.
“Non canti?”.
“No”.
“Suoni?”.
“No”.
“Ma allora cosa fai?”.
“Di solito lavoro. Quando non ho una ragazzina che mi risucchia in stupide e inutili polemiche via cellulare”.
“Vuoi che riprendiamo in un altro momento la nostra importante conversazione?”.
“No”.
“Mi hai chiamato ragazzina. Deduco che tu sia vecchio e noioso”.
“La signora Lippett non mi aveva avvisato che tu fossi una stalker”.
“Se lo avesse fatto non si sarebbe mai liberata di me”.”
