Doreen VirtueWhen you sit in a cafรฉ, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. You're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either. Your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. When you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. This is genuine tea drinking.

Laurie ColwinAlmost all the world is natural chemicals, so it really makes you re-think everything. A cup of coffee is filled with chemicals.

Bruce AmesOf all the unchristian beverages that ever passed my lips, Turkish coffee is the worst. The cup is small, it is smeared with grounds; the coffee is black, thick, unsavory of smell, and execrable in taste. The bottom of the cup has a muddy sediment in it half an inch deep. This goes down your throat, and portions of it lodge by the way, and produce a tickling aggravation that keeps you barking and coughing for an hour.

Emo PhilipsI must say, some are not very beautifully made. Theyโre coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you donโt have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

Max BemisI found myself face to face with a long line of people resembling extras off the set of Night of the Living Dead: shuffling along, pale and twitching, empty cups in hand -- murderous.

Get over it. Drink your coffee. It's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough.

I just want to never stop loving like there is nothing else to do, because what else is there to do?
