"I only drink Champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty."
-- Lily Bollinger

"a room without books is like a body without a soul" - seen in a bookshop window, natch!
I think this is MJ's - "I love to cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food" - always smile at that one.
I also like the quote that goes something like "walk gently on the earth, leave nothing but footprints" - don't think I've got it quite right, fuzzy headed from lack of sleep!
