Quotations about Chocolate
There is nothing better than a good friend, except a good
friend with chocolate. (Linda Grayson, The Pickwick Papers)

reliable than a man.
(Miranda Ingram)
Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but woman sure can.
(unknown)
This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out
popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished
a million dollars and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he
wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible.
And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women
poof! He turned into a box of chocolates. (unknown)
