Louis Menand Quotes
Order What You Feel Like Eating," Says Your Impatient Dinner Companion. But The Problem Is That You Don't KNOW What You Feel Like Eating. What You Feel Like Eating Is Precisely What You Are Trying To Figure Out.
Order What You Feel Like Eating" Is Just A Piece Of Advice About The Criteria You Should Be Using To Guide Your Deliberations. It Is Not A Solution To Your Menu Problem - Just As "Do The Right Thing" And "Tell The Truth" Are Only Suggestions About Criteria, Not Answers To Actual Dilemmas. The Actual Dilemma Is What, In The Particular Case Staring You In The Face, The Right Thing To Do Or The Honest Thing To Say Really Is. And Making Those Kinds Of Decisions - About What Is Right Or What Is Truthful - IS Like Deciding What To Order In A Restaurant, In The Sense That Getting A Handle On Tastiness Is No Harder Or Easier (even Though It Is Generally Less Important) Than Getting A Handle On Justice Or Truth.
