"I think it's only now am I beginning to get a stronger feeling why this poem connects to Finland so deeply.

I still cannot believe how illustrative the language is of everyday items and scenery.

I was ready to give this up, but after talking it out with my BF I think I've found a new perspective to view this with."

Mark Schatzker
“Yes, part of the problem is junk food. There’s more of it, and it’s more alluring than ever. But nonjunk food is a bigger problem. It isn’t as flavorful as it used to be, which has the inverse effect of making junk food yet more enticing. Even worse, we’re turning real food into junk food.Thanks to its off-putting insipidness, we coat it in calories, drench it in dressing, and dust it in synthetic flavor. The more bland it becomes, the harder we try to make it seem real.”
Mark Schatzker, The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor

“a chap who's supposed to stop chaps pinching things from chaps having a chap come along and pinch something from him.”

Jeanette Winterson
“Human beings often display emotions they do not feel. And they often feel emotions they do not display.”
Jeanette Winterson, The Stone Gods
