My mother was a woman of the '50s who had a family in the '70s while finding her political and feminist voice. She could make marvellous three-course meals after teaching all day but hated it. Because of that legacy, it took me a long time to realise the delights of the family table.

There is no right way to go on an edible journey. You can never tell what is going to be great, so you have to try everything. If you become doctrinaire about sticking to lowbrow foods or epicurean delights, your just being an extremist, and it won't do you any good.

Adam Richman

Great Good Food

However dark, however demanding the realities of existence are, artists provide the lift, the light, the ways to make it through. They help us find the joys and delights, the hopes we need for our days and hours. I am grateful for their gifts.

Agnes Gund

Hope Art Ways

I usually turn over when ads appear on television. But - very rarely - I am gripped by a particularly beautiful one, and wonder if art historians of the future will point to these televisual delights as our best art.

Alice Roberts

Future Art Wonder

Watching everyone root through their psyche, it just delights me. Especially R. Crumb's stuff.

Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.

But the delights of solitude don't only consist of dreaming. Next in enjoyment, I think, comes planning.

Anna Neagle

Men Think Thin

When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.

Anna Pavlova

Success Mom Men

No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.

One of the delights known to age, and beyond the grasp of youth, is that of Not Going.

Anthony Burgess

Age Youth You

It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.

Ashley Montagu

Work Happiness Youth

Each author has his or her own voice. I read each book slowly so I can see the patterns they use to spread out the garden of earthly delights.

Society secretly delights in crime, excesses, and violated prohibitions of all sorts.

The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.

Carolina Herrera

Time Art Years

I have no interest in returning to yesteryear. I love the conveniences and delights of today's time. I wouldn't go back if I could.

Charles R. Swindoll

Time Love Yes

The revealed Word awakened me, but it was the preached Word that saved me, and I must ever attach peculiar value to the hearing of the truth, for by it I received the joy and peace in which my soul delights.

Charles Spurgeon

Truth Peace Word

It delights me that I don't fit the stereotype of an actress.

A gluten-free diet still allows you access to almost every fruit and vegetable, a variety of grains and legumes, your pick of dairy products, fresh meats and fish and a whole slew of special gluten-free delights to satisfy your pretzel-bagel-muffin-doughnut craving.

I get little kids who recognize me from 'Mary Poppins,' and it just delights me because it's our third generation.

Dick Van Dyke

Who Use Us

I have little taste for fashionable dissipations, cards, and dancing; the theatre and tea parties are my aversion, and I look with little envy on those who find their enjoyment in such transitory delights, if delights they may be called.

Dorothea Dix

Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some usable space, architecture is nothing but a special-effects machine that delights and disturbs the senses.

Elizabeth Diller

Our days and nights have sorrows woven with delights.

Francois de Malherbe

All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation.

Francois Fenelon

Let us instance one respect in which American life has recently undergone a great change. We allude to its increased devotion to pleasure, to happiness, to dancing, to sport... to the delights of the country, to laughter, and to all forms of cheerfulness.

Frank Crowninshield

The delights of self-discovery are always available.

Gail Sheehy

Among the delights of Summer were picnics to the woods.

Georg Brandes

Books have become our dearest companions, yielding exquisite delights and inspiring lofty aims.

George Henry Lewes

Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly.

George MacDonald

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

George Sand

Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom.

Giacomo Casanova

He who is vain and delights in his own ability is deceived by his inferiors. When he likes to bring forth arguments and kindliness, his inferiors take advantage of his abilities.

Han Fei

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Henri Poincare

When a novel has 200,000 words, then it is possible for the reader to experience 200,000 delights, and to turn back to the first page of the book and experience them all over again, perhaps more intensely.

Jane Smiley

At a macro level, it's balancing the needs of consumers, advertisers and content owners. And if you talk to any one of those three customer sets in isolation, often times you won't delight the other two. So the hurdle we faced with Hulu Plus was, how can we thread this needle in a way that delights all three customer sets?

Jason Kilar

I first became aware of the delights of the natural world when my father, an entomologist, presented me with what looked like a twig. When it got up and walked, my delight was such that I wrote a poem, 'To a Walking Stick.'

Jean Craighead George

Be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favourites.

John Dalberg-Acton

Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater, but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights, and maybe pitfalls too.

John Malkovich

God has levels of willing and delighting. He wills and delights in things in different ways so that approval and disapproval can coexist without being contradictory, without canceling each other out. I am making the case here for infinite complexity.

John Piper

Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people. It delights me how witty and friendly most people are.

John Simm

That he delights in the misery of others no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel?

Joseph Addison

Some of us live a Christian life as if we're always under the stern, watchful eye of our Father and he is very impossible to please... No, God delights even in our heartfelt attempts at obedience.

Kevin DeYoung

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Khalil Gibran

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Khalil Gibran

Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age.

Lactantius

One of the delights of life is eating with friends; second to that is talking about eating. And, for an unsurpassed double whammy, there is talking about eating while you are eating with friends.

Laurie Colwin

Jogi Low and Pep Guardiola both know exactly how to deal with me. To receive criticism from big coaches even delights me a bit.

Leroy Sane

One of the many delights that I found in directing was that you plan so many things so meticulously so that they go smoothly. But you also have to leave time and space for spontaneous emotional moments to arise.

Lisa Joy

What delights us in visible beauty is the invisible.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?

Marquis de Sade

Every one knows, that the mind will not be kept from contemplating what it loves in the midst of crowds and business. Hence come those frequent absences, so observable in conversation; for whilst the body is confined to present company, the mind is flown to that which it delights in.
