Steve Almond Quotes About Chocolate

• De vez en cuando me encuentro con alguien que dice que no le gusta el chocolate y, aunque vivimos en un país en el que todo el mundo tiene derecho a comer lo que quiera, quiero dejar constancia de que no me fío de esa gente, que creo que les pasa algo y que probablemente -y esto hay que decirlo- sean unos completos inútiles en la cama.

• But I can think of nothing on earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night, which, for me, was ten to fifteen pounds of candy, a riot of colored wrappers and hopeful fonts,snub-nosed chocolate bars and SweeTARTS, the seductive rattle of Jujyfruits and Good & Plenty and lollipopsticks all akimbo, the foli ends of mini LifeSavers packs twinkling like dimes, and a thick sugary perfume rising up from the pillowcase.

• Art arises from loss. I wish this weren't the case. I wish that every time I met a new woman and she rocked my world, I was inspired to write my ass off. But that is not what happens. What happens is we lie around in bed eating chocolate and screwing. Art is what happens when things don't work out, when you're licking your wounds. Art is, to a larger extent than people would like to think, a productive licking of the wounds.
