Some foods are so comforting, so nourishing of body and soul, that to eat them is to be home again after a long journey. To eat such a meal is to remember that, though the world is full of knives and storms, the body is built for kindness.

∆ Eli Brown, Cinnamon and Gunpowder

"Joy of union—yes; agony of separation—forbidden!"

"The slow‐rolling night must have a shore somewhere

The boat of the afflicted heart’s grieving will drop anchor somewhere"

“We’re born with infinite possibilities, only to give up one after another. That’s inevitable.”
