I'm working on a design project for a coffee client at the moment and have unearthed a few piquant coffee quotes along the way (and conjured a few of my own). If you've got some grist for the mill, feel free to pony up! There's a coffee in it.
Here's a tidy little fella to ponder:As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move...similes arise, the paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle. (Honore de Balzac)
And here's another good'un:I never drink coffee at lunch—I find it keeps me up all afternoon (Ronald Reagan)

“A cup of coffee commits one to forty years of friendship.” - Turkish Proverb
"I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee." - Flash Rosenber
"Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald their chops, and spend their money, all for a little base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking nauseous puddle water." - The Women's Petition Against Coffee (1674)
"Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of goat"
- Johann Sebastian Bach
More because of who said it than what he said:
People are experience rich and theory poor. People who are busy doing things, as opposed to people who are busy sitting around, like me, reading and having coffee in coffee shops, don't have opportunities to kind of collect and organize their experiences and make sense of them.
Malcolm Gladwell
Coffee is the common man's gold, and like gold, it brings to every person the feeling of luxury and nobility. - Sheik Abd-al-Kadir
