Julia Child's Recipe for a Thoroughly Modern Marriage | History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine
That attitude was, for its time, truly remarkable. Mastering was published just a couple of years before The Feminine Mystique. Women all over America were feeling oppressed—and with good reason. I cannot count the women of my mother’s generation who paid heavily for their success. Their husbands resented it; their children did too. But Paul Child was a supremely confident man. “Whatever it is, I will do it,” he told Julia, becoming her manager, photographer, recipe-tester and taster, proofreader, illustrator. When she went on the road to promote her books, he went along. Few men of Paul Child’s generation would have been able to enjoy their wife’s success as he did.

"Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the [sic] truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human."

"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."

"He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it—how many stars she’d give it and why."

Every time I’m in NYC, I always drop by Strand. And every time I go, I tell myself to get one, maybe two books.
I always come out with at least 6.
To say that I love this bookstore is a massive understatement.

Flavorwire » 10 Great Poems You Can Memorize Today
“Unfortunate Coincidence,” Dorothy Parker
By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying –
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying. -
Nike Makes Music And Romance In New Running Campaign | Co.Create: Creativity \ Culture \ Commerce
In passionate moments, it’s all too easy to promise the moon and stars to the object of your affection. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be called upon to make good on such romantic pledges. Someone probably should’ve mentioned as much to the couple in Nike’s latest ad, “I Would Run To You.”
Created by Wieden + Kennedy and directed by Ringan Ledwidge, the new spot for the Nike Free Run+ 3 finds a bicoastal couple attempting to deliver on the promise of running across the country for each other. Rather than simply listen to The Proclaimers’ “I Would Walk 500 Miles” along the way, the two lovers serenade each other during their run with a song written by the W+K creative team and downloadable by using the Shazam app.
The spot was shot in five states over 11 days. The campaign will also include a social media element that will challenge runners to do their thing while singing from a special “Nike Free Running Karaoke” mix. See the ad in full below (watch for cameos from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and skateboarder Theotis Beasley) and watch for an online Nike+ challenge coming soon. -
