Favourite quotes from Nora

There are many wonderful people in the raw food movement.
I have been inspired by them, encouraged by them, learned from them,
and became friends with some of them.
I would like to share with you some of my favourite quotes from Nora Lenz,
who's teachings are so close to my own beliefs.
Her presence has arguably influenced the current shape of the raw food movement
and inspired many in their raw food journey.
"Nora has the presence to peel off layers of habit and culture
and get to the core of any issue.
Not being afraid to accept personal responsibility for actions and their results
keeps away the finger pointing and fear based mentalities at bay." (Beth)

Children find everything in nothing; men find nothing in everything.
(Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone Scelto)

Women gather together to wear silly hats, eat dainty food, and forget how unresponsive their husbands are. Men gather to talk sports, eat heavy food, and forget how demanding their wives are. Only where children gather is there any real chance of fun.

Anyone who thinks the art of conversation is dead ought to tell a child to go to bed.
