I got the idea that to write books would be the best way to spend a life. I never thought of anything else that seemed like half as much fun, although in my next life I would like to be an architect, too, so I can have an easier time restoring houses (Frances Mayes Quotes)
I’m just fascinated by houses. In another life, I’d have probably trained as an architect. If I had enough money, I’d collect them like other people collect teapots. I don’t know why I love them so much. I’m just very interested in the idea of a house as a metaphor for the way one lives (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Going to Europe as a budding cook opened my eyes to food in a different way. When I got to Italy, the first thing I did was put my little basil plants in the ground and watch them turn into big, healthy bushes (Frances Mayes Quotes)
I loved every place I lived and traveled. London, Paris, Rome, Venice. I fell hard for Central America and Mexico. In each country, I had fantasies that I could live there (Frances Mayes Quotes)

The world cracks open for those willing to take a risk (Frances Mayes Quotes)
As travel pushes me forward, memory keeps dragging me backward (Frances Mayes Quotes)
It’s kind of amazing that people will travel because of a book. I admire that (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Although I am a person who expected to be rooted in one spot forever, as it has turned out I love having the memories of living in many places (Frances Mayes Quotes)
There is no technique, there is just the way to do it. Now, are we going to measure or are we going to cook? (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Five tender apricots in a blue bowl, a brief and exact promise of things to come (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Splendid to arrive alone in a foreign country and feel the assault of difference. Here they are all along, busy with living; they don’t talk or look like me. The rhythm of their day is entirely different; I am foreign (Frances Mayes Quotes)
All afternoon in the deck chair, I try to describe to my notebook the colors of the water and sky. How to translate sunlight into words? (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Sometimes you have to travel back in time, skirting the obstacles, in order to love someone (Frances Mayes Quotes)
The urge to travel feels magnetic. Two of my favorite words are linked: departure time. And travel whets the emotions, turns upside down the memory bank, and the golden coins scatter (Frances Mayes Quotes)
After owning a pool, I think the best way to enjoy the water is to have a friend who has a pool (Frances Mayes Quotes)
The house protects the dreamer; the houses that are important to us are the ones that allow us to dream in peace. Guests we’ve had stop in for a night or two all come down the first morning, ready to tell their dreams (Frances Mayes Quotes)
One of those flash epiphanies of travel, the realization that worlds you’d love vibrantly exist outside your ignorance of them. The vitality of many lives you know nothing about. The breeze lifting a blue curtain in a doorway billows just the same whether you are lucky enough to observe it or not. Travel gives such jolts. I could live in this town, so how is it that I’ve never been here before today? (Frances Mayes Quotes)
It’s daunting to find the language so foreign, so distant, but also so thrilling. One is absolved of responsibility when the language is incomprehensible (Frances Mayes Quotes)
Where you are is who you are. The further inside you the place moves, the more your identity is intertwined with it. Never casual, the choice of place is the choice of something you crave (Frances Mayes Quotes)
