A Quote by Oscar Levant

Schizophrenia beats dining alone. — © Oscar Levant
Schizophrenia beats dining alone.
. . . gastronomical perfection can be reached in these combinations: one person dining alone, usually upon a couch or a hill side; two people, of no matter what sex or age, dining in a good restaurant; six people . . . dining in a good home.
If an autoimmune disease can create symptoms that look exactly like schizophrenia, that raises the question, what is schizophrenia? And are there forms of schizophrenia that are caused by other types of autoimmune disease?
It was incredible to have J Dilla in your dining room making beats - it was one of the greatest experiences I've had.
No one has schizophrenia, like having a cold. The patient has not "got" schizophrenia. He is schizophrenic.
I was very happy sitting alone at a dining room table, writing a script.
When I'm dining out privately, I tend to avoid fine-dining venues; I like things to feel casual.
We do not know with any of these neuropsychiatric disorders what the ultimate basis is. Let's say you could find that too much of protein X was involved in schizophrenia. Would you then know what schizophrenia is? You would not.
Psychiatrists look for twisted molecules and defective genes as the causes of schizophrenia, because schizophrenia is the name of a disease. If Christianity or Communism were called diseases, would they then look for the chemical and genetic "causes" of these "conditions"?
I love the intensity of the fine-dining kitchen, but loathe the fine-dining experience.
Sometimes I go in and try to write beats, but I just trash 'em, and then the next time I go in, I'll make like six beats - six legit, nice beats. I'm really particular with how it needs to sound.
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network. When I opened Spago, I had the kitchen in the dining hall. It was probably the first restaurant to do so. The dining scene became more casual. All these cooking shows have transformed our profession one-hundred percent.
I think there's something to be said for going to certain fine dining restaurants and knowing that after a certain time, it would be inappropriate to take young children. And, unrealistic for them and unfair to the child and to the others that are dining.
I made my entire first tape using Beats headphones - the studio headphones and halfway through the second one, because I finally started making a home studio. But I record and make all my beats with the Beats headphones.
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
It is folly alone that stays the fugue of Youth and beats off touring Old Age.
A dining room table with children's eager hungry faces around it, ceases to be a mere dining room table, and becomes an altar.
