“I unload the almond poppy seed muffins into a cloth-lined basket, and their sweet, vaguely nutty perfume fills the air. Unlike his sturdy raisin bran muffins, which are dense, dark, and chockablock with plump raisins, the almond poppy seed muffins are delicate and cakey, their crumb so light and tender they threaten to float out of the basket. When Rick isn't looking, I sneak a bite of one of the broken muffin tops, and before I know it I've eaten the entire thing, the flavor as rich as the texture is light, bursting with sweet almond essence.”
― Dana Bate, A Second Bite at the Apple

“I'd chew on the letters, savor them, and spit them out with my voice. I'd do this again and again until I memorized all of them.

They start to sound like a meaningless alien language. That's when I actually feel those incomprehensible words like "love" or "eternity" start speaking to me.”
― Won Pyung Sohn
