We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks.... He may live without books,what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton		Sunday Nov 09, 2025
