If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey. Contemplation I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life. . . . They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be.

Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.

Honey is often used as an ingredient in the center of golf balls and in antifreeze mixtures.
