COFFEE QUOTES III
quotations about coffee
When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. You're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either. Your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. When you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. This is genuine tea drinking.

Anger: Wisdome for Cooling the Flames
After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.

My couch is coffee-colored. I can thank Starbucks and clumsiness for that.

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils.
HENRY WARD BEECHER

I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup.

I don't need to drink coffee to be awesome. I'm already awesome. But it's more fun when I'm awesome and awake.

NATALIE COLE
"Coffee Time", Still Unforgettable
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

He was my cream, and I was his coffee -- and when you poured us together, it was something.
JOSEPHINE BAKER
attributed, Remembering Josephine
Only thing worse than bad coffee is bad cold coffee.
JERRY TRAVIS
The Black Widow
Coffee is the common man's gold, and like gold,
it brings to every man the feeling of luxury and nobility.
Where coffee is served, there is
grace and splendor and friendship and happiness.
All cares vanish as the coffee cup is raised to the lips.
SHEIKH ABD-AL-KADIR
In Praise of Coffee
While it is true that even bad coffee is better than none, the difference between good and bad is the same as between one cent and ten thousand.

The powers of a man's mind are directly proportioned to the quantity of coffee he drinks.
SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH
attributed, Chicken Soup for the Coffee Lover's Soul
The drinking of coffee is an absolute sin! Our Glorious Prophet did not partake of coffee because he knew it dulled the intellect, caused ulcers, hernia and sterility; he understood that coffee was nothing but the Devil's ruse.
ORHAN PAMUK
My Name is Red
People assume because I'm a coffee expert I drink lots of coffee. I can't. It takes me half an hour to brew my perfect cup. Do the math. I simply don't have time to drink more.

The next time you walk by a coffee shop, peer inside. Take in the variety of people in line or seated. Men and women in business attire. Parents with strollers. College students studying. High school kids joking. Couples deep in conversation. Retired folks reading newspapers and talking politics. And, of course, scores of people sitting in front of laptops searching, downloading, listening, reading and writing books, blogs, business plans, résumés, letters, e-mails, instant messages, texts ... whatever their hearts desire. Consider how many of those people furiously clicking away on keyboards and scribbling ideas on napkins might be working to create the next Google, Alibaba, or Facebook, or composing a novel or a piece of music. Maybe they're falling in love with someone sitting next to them. Or making a friend.
