- Julie Powell

But the point is –
Julia was so impressive, so instructive, so exhilarating, because she
was a woman, not a goddess.  Julia didn’t create armies of drones,
mindlessly equating her name with taste and muttering “It’s a Good
Thing” under their minty breath.  Instead she created feisty, buttery,
adventurous cooks, always diving in to the next possible disaster,
because goddammit, if Julia did it, so could we.
