Honoré de Balzac (1799-1859) wrote that “As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move…things remembered arrive at full gallop…similes arise, the paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle.”
Sydney Smith (1771-1845) said, “If you want to improve your understanding, drink coffee; it is the intelligent beverage.”
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote that, “Without my morning coffee I’m just like a dried up piece of roast goat.”
