Diner Quotes

Now that I have a 16-month-old son, my weekend ritual has changed - but it's better than ever.

And yet I think that the Full House model does teach us to treasure variety for its own sake-for tough reasons of evolutionary theory and nature's ontology, and not from a lamentable failure of thought that accepts all beliefs on the absurd rationale that disagreement must imply disrespect. Excellence is a range of differences, not a spot. Each location on the range can be occupied by an excellent or an inadequate representative-and we must struggle for excellence at each of these varied locations. In a society driven, often unconsciously, to impose a uniform mediocrity upon a former richness of excellence-where McDonald's drives out the local diner, and the mega-Stop & Shop eliminates the corner Mom and Pop-an understanding and defense of full ranges as natural reality might help to stem the tide and preserve the rich raw material of any evolving system: variation itself. (Stephen Jay Gould)

The Lierna Chair is a chair specially designed as a seat to be placed next to the dining table. It was therefore with the rather high back that shields behind the diner, tight to facilitate the movements of those who serve lunch and that is well suited to the position composed of people sitting. The chair was designed by us for the Cassina, and we are oriented on a light chair with joints in sections reduced to the essentials ... View quote
