chocolate

You may have noticed we have no sex lives. As a result there's lots of chocolate in this house.

Touched by her fingers, the two surviving chocolate people copulate desperately, losing themselves in a melting frenzy of lust, spending the last of their brief borrowed lives in a spasm of raspberry cream and fear.

Something tells me that you sneak bars up to your room a lot. In fact, you probably have a whole little shoebox dedicated to them.___rong.___ don__ think I am. Tell the truth, Emery. Do you hoard chocolate bars?___ww! Hoarding makes it sound gross. It__ not like I collect them or anything. I just keep a few on hand when the craving hits.___nd how often is that?__e__ pushing me. It__ evident by the grin on his face, but there__ something about the way his eyes are lighting up, the first time they__e done it since he got here today, that makes me wanna answer him just to keep it going. I like the way he is right now. It__ much better than the tense and angry way he was before. __very single day._ I admit and along with the smile comes a thick rumble of laughter. __o, you admit you have a problem. That__ the first step.

Caution: Poems are sweeter than chocolates.

Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top.

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.

Yes, boys are a little like shoes. Why? Well...They can be useful. But mainly...They are nice to look at. Getting the right one can be a lovely accessory to an outfit. There are times when you couldn't do without them. And there are times when you'd rather do without them. Get the wrong ones and they can hurt. There are many types and often the ones that look the nicest are completely unpractical.

He showed the words __hocolate cake_ to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. __uilt_ was the top response. If that strikes you as unexceptional, consider the response of French eaters to the same prompt: __elebration.

Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.

War is a bazaar where lives are traded like any other commodity: chocolate or bullets or parachute silk.

Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty.Chocolate isn't like premarital sex. It will not make you pregnant.And it always feels good.

Every now and then, I'll run into someone who claims not to like chocolate, and while we live in a country where everyone has the right to eat what they want, I want to say for the record that I don't trust these people, that I think something is wrong with them, and that they're probably - and this must be said - total duds in bed.

The calling that has been thrust upon you is likewise as demanding and daunting. I understand how you feel, believe me. But we need you, Eena. I would say I__ sorry, but_honestly I__ have no other woman take your place. You are exactly what we need. And yes, it does require a great deal of sacrifice, but you don__ have to bear these burdens alone. We are all here to help you. And believe me there isn__ one of us who wouldn__ give his last breath to defend yours so you might go on to heal Harrowbeth. Don__ block us out. Don__ think you have to stand alone. Please wake up and know that I understand. And I promise I won__ say, __ told you so.__ The room fell quiet. Eena didn__ move. Derian could see how her breathing continued smoothly in and out just as before. ____l give you some chocolate if you wake up._ It was a last-ditch effort. ____e got plenty of it, and I don__ care for the stuff.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

Life without books, chocolate & coffee is just useless.
