• We're living in a funny world kid, a peculiar civilization. The police are playing crooks in it, and the crooks are doing police duty. The politicians are preachers, and the preachers are politicians. The tax collectors collect for themselves. The Bad People want us to have more dough, and the good people are fighting to keep it from us. It's not good for us, know what I mean? If we had all we wanted to eat, we'd eat too much. We'd have inflation in the toilet paper industry. That's the way I understand it. That's about the size of some of the arguments I've heard.

• Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song.

• At the dinner table when I was very little, I would hear people bickering... To escape the bickering, I started modelling the soft bread with my fingers.

• It's Good...But
  No more rush hour driving
  To start and end your day
  No more early alarm calls
  But..much less pay
  No more back stabbing
  Or rising to the bait
  No more phone calls from the boss
  Asking you to work late
  But...having to get by
  On half your hourly rate
  Now you have all day
  To sit or doze to stay to go
  Anywhere you like...
  ..cheaply
  You've got less dough
  Travel around the world
  Do anything you've desired
  But do it economically
  Now that you're retired

  John Walter Bratton

• What I like about cooking is that, so long as you follow the recipe exactly, everything always turns out perfect. It’s too bad there’s no recipe for happiness. Happiness is more like pastry—which is to say that you can take pains to keep cool and not overwork the dough, but if you don’t have that certain light touch, your best efforts still fall flat. The work-around is to buy what you need. I’m talking about pastry, not happiness, although money does make things easier all around.

• My shape reminds me a lot of my grandmother, whom I was really close to. She died when I was 13, and we have a really similar body type, the squat New England woman who can roll out dough and bring in your lawnmower. That's kind of the vibe of my body, and I'm into it.
