My grandmother would start making her meat sauce at 7 in the morning on Sunday, and within five or six hours, that smell would be all through the house.

I think smells, like sounds, can be so much immediately affecting.

My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It's a little smelly to me, I don't like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don't like to catch them.

No guest is so welcome in a friend's house that he will not become a nuisance after three days.

It is kind of cliche to say you like a man to smell like a man, but I really do. My husband can go three or four days without taking a shower and the man never smells.

The smells of slow cooking spread around the house and impart a unique warmth matched only by the flavour of the food.

Smell is a long-distance sense, a way of stretching time and finding out in advance what lies ahead.

Smell was our first sense. It is even possible that being able to smell was the stimulus that took a primitive fish and turned a small lump of olfactory tissue on its nerve cord into a brain. We think because we smelled.

When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours.
