Quote by Nick Harkaway

“A cherry pie is . . . ephemeral. From the moment it emerges from the oven it begins a steep decline: from too hot to edible to cold to stale to mouldy, and finally to a post-pie state where only history can tell you that it was once considered food. The pie is a parable of human life.”

Life is bigger and more interesting than The Lord of the Rings thinks it is.”
