Quote by Rajani LaRocca

“I let all the tastes play in my mouth. The cupcake was light and creamy and subtly infused with aromatic cardamom. It was covered in a luscious rose-cardamom frosting. There were rose petals in the cake and on top, red and pink. They were fragrant and sweet and the tiniest bit salty. "Joy and sorrow. Laughter and tears," I said. "These cupcakes do taste like love. And love that you wished you still had.”

“If I could slide myself into the Palm of your hands. I'd split myself into five slender stems, So all of me could fit into the Vase of your hands. Between the stems there is A piece of me that I've hidden, Wild in proximity to you. Between your thumbs I've succumb to the tenderness of your smile. Though petite, my day is no longer incomplete. So I took a seat, and watched the sun rise from your smile for just a while longer”

“Cosmos drew himself to his full height. His cavernous chest swelled and his wings and various other appendages spread open, encompassing all the land and the rain-filled skies. “Henceforth,” he boomed, “you shall call me your Omniarch, or Creator, or Lord. Maybe God. Lord Omniarch sounds best. But don’t call me Jehovah or I’ll drop a mountain on your head. I’m not joking.” “Fair enough,” said Terry, quickly adding, “Lord Omniarch,” when Cosmos growled. “And you shall spread word of my names – except Jehovah – to everyone! And to the dust shall you shout my names; yea, to the trees, also. And the mountains shall ring with the echo of my names, and the beasts of the ground and of the air and rivers and seas shall hear of me, and, though they will not comprehend, they will yet grovel under my might.” “Why,” said Terry, “if you don’t want me to say it, do you keep mentioning the name Jeh–”

“Hello! Doctor 方,好久不见!”张先生跟外国人来往惯了,说话有个特征––喜欢中国话里夹无谓的英文字。他并无中文难达的新意,需要借英文来讲;所以他说话里嵌的英文字,还比不得嘴里嵌的金牙,因为金牙不仅妆点,尚可使用,只好比牙缝里嵌的肉屑,表示饭菜吃得好,此外全无用处。”

“I never wanted to forget where I'd been and what I'd learned along the way. I used Meyer lemons and good French butter. I zested and stirred and thought of my mom as I worked. And to every hot, bubbling pan of lemon pie filling, I added a single lemon drop. As I watched it melt into the sugar and lemon juice mixture, I reminded myself of the truth I now knew. That you don't need magic to change your life. You just need to follow your bliss as best you can. If you follow the light, no matter how dark the circumstances, things will come out right in the end. That's the true recipe for joy in this life. That's the true magic of lemon drop pie.”
