Knowing without feeling is like a menu without a meal.

being asked to dinner is not always the same thing as being asked to dine.

Just because you lost me as a friend, doesn't mean you gained me as an enemy. I'm bigger than that, I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table.

The waiter approached.
'Would you like to see the menu?' he said. 'Or would you like to meet the Dish of the Day?'
'Huh?' said Ford.
'Huh?' said Arthur.

'That’s cool,' said Zaphod. 'We'll meet the meat.

I had a missed call. It’s probably the all you can eat buffet calling to say, “Come back! We know you can eat just a little bit more.

Every menu is an obituary.

Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.

La calidad de una cena la determinan las conversaciones secundarias que la mayoría de la mesa no oye.

How do I know that a table still exists if I go out of the room and can’t see it? What does it mean to say that things we can’t see, such as electrons or quarks — the particles that are said to make up the proton and neutron — exist? One could have a model in which the table disappears when I leave the room and reappears in the same position when I come back, but that would be awkward, and what if something happened when I was out, like the ceiling falling in? How, under the table-disappears-when-I-leave-the-room model, could I account for the fact that the next time I enter, the table reappears broken, under the debris of the ceiling? The model in which the table stays put is much simpler and agrees with observation. That is all one can ask.

"You've got to learn to leave the table
When love's no longer being served".

Recuerda que debes conducirte en la vida como en un banquete. ¿Un plato ha llegado hasta ti? Extiende tu mano sin ambición, tómalo con modestia. ¿Se aleja? No lo retengas. ¿No ha llegado aún? No lances desde lejos tu deseo, sino que espera a que el plato esté a tu lado.

Everything you love
is from a different world.
Hungry,
you turn your nose up
at my peas and rice.
