quotations about chocolate
If the last chocolate on earth came to you for help, would you eat it immediately or wait a few minutes?

Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.
TRUMAN CAPOTE
attributed, The Healing Powers of Chocolate
More than any other food, chocolate delights and enchants ... chocolate tantalizes and it comforts. Chocolate has soothed fretful children and welcomed tired travelers; mountain climbers have saved their last piece of chocolate to celebrate reaching new heights; suitors have given chocolate to show the depth of their devotion. Chocolate has been used as a stimulant, an aphrodisiac, and [even] a form of currency.

Everyone needs fudge ... It's how God helps us cope.

What is it that makes chocolate universally popular? Clearly it satisfies a natural craving for sweets, but so do many other foods. Or it may be that there are so many kinds of chocolate available to suit everyone's taste. What started out as a bitter drink enjoyed by the natives of the new world in the early 16th century has evolved to become a complex offering of dark, light, liquid, solid, bitter, sweet and semisweet chocolate.

Chocolate Everything
In recent years, some experts ... have determined that chocolate is rich in flavonoids, which may help lower blood pressure; plus, it's chock-full of antioxidants. When I read that line I kissed the magazine and rushed to the pantry for a box of Suzy Q snack cakes. However, let's be real. If a little bit of chocolate each day keeps the doctor away, most of us would enjoy eternal health.

Heavenly Humor for the Chocolate Lover's Soul
Some people smoked crack in alleyways. Franny ate chocolate. On the scale of things, it seemed entirely reasonable.

Then she thought bitterly that it would be much easier to resist chocolate if her life were less stressful.

The Casual Vacancy
Chocolate is no ordinary food. It is not something you can leave, something you like only moderately. You don't LIKE chocolate. You don't even LOVE chocolate. Chocolate is something you have an AFFAIR with.
GENEEN ROTH
Feeding the Hungry Heart
He showed the words "chocolate cake" to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. "Guilt" was the top response. If that strikes you as unexceptional, consider the response of French eaters to the same prompt: "celebration."

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
When chocolate is administered in the right "dose," I know from experience that it can relieve anything from a hard day at the office to a full-fledged existential crisis.

Life is a struggle between good, evil, and chocolate.

It's chocolate so dark it looks black. Chocolate. Thank god. If he'd brought a non-chocolate cake, I would have had to give him a demerit. We have no forks or plates, only our teaspoons, so we eat with those, me making the first divot in the cake's smooth surface--a dainty fairylike bite that is really not my usual MO--and holy hell the chocolate is so intense and pure it should be named an element and given a spot on the periodic table. It would be Ch, which isn't even taken.

A day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine.

Chocolate Covered Murder
Chocolate knows no boundaries; speaks all languages; comes in all sizes; is woven through many cultures and disciplines ... it impacts mood, health, and economics, and it is a part of our lives from early childhood through the elderly years.
