I am putting real plums into an imaginary cake.

Cakes are healthy too, you just eat a small slice.

It's scary to me to watch the world around us get less and less physical while in the imaginary world of pop culture, aggressive impulses and fear reactions are floridly, furiously stoked and indulged.

It's so comforting to have a small piece of cake. Just one slice.

The labor of keeping house is labor in its most naked state, for labor is toil that never finishes, toil that has to be begun again the moment it is completed, toil that is destroyed and consumed by the life process.

People with bad consciences always fear the judgment of children.
