When you’re searching

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

‘”Parla come magni,” which in Italian means “Speak the way you eat” or “Say it like you eat it.”  It’s a reminder — when you’re making a big deal out of explaining something, when you’re searching for the right words — to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman food. Don’t make a big production out of it. Just lay it on the table.’

Thanks to J for text-messaging this quote from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love.
