“When those who have the power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see you or hear you...when someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes the world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked in the mirror and saw nothing. It takes some strength of soul--and not just individual strength, but collective understanding--to resist this void, this non-being, into which you are thrust, and to stand up, demanding to be seen and heard.”
― Adrienne Rich, Blood, Bread, and Poetry: Selected Prose, 1979-1985

“Cakes are healthy too, you just eat a small slice.”
― Mary Berry

― J.G. Ballard, Kingdom Come

“Food is about nurturing: not only physical but also emotional nurturing.”
― Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
