“Am I alone in this mother-food connection or does being with your mom trigger the sudden and voracious need for large amounts of mac & cheese, rice pudding, and the scraps along the side of a bowl of cookie dough?”

“मेरी उच्च शिक्षित और आत्मनिर्भर माँ जानती थी कि महिलाएं किसी भी पद पर पहुंच जाएं, घर-बार उन्हें खुद ही सम्हालना होगा इसीलिए माँ की ट्रेनिंग हर समय निर्बाध चलती रहती थी। हाँ, पापा के साथ खड़े होने के लिए मैं एक मजबूत कंधा बनने की कोशिश करती रहती थी।”

“It was all so easy. My mum says it was denial. That I wanted life to pass me by, instead of standing there getting drenched in it like everyone else. She thought less of me now, that was hardly surprising. I thought less of her, too. We were standing on each side of a trench, measuring each other. Measuring each other with our eyes. Who was the stronger? Who was the weak? Who would come creeping in the night, sobbing and reaching out to be held?”

“Nobody warned me about this part. When I envisioned my trip, I imagined exciting adventures, exotic locales, a jet-set lifestyle. I never thought grief and doubt would climb into my backpack and come with me. I pictured standing at the top of the Sun Gate, looking down at Machu Picchu, without ever thinking about the steps it would take to get there. This is the curse of wanderlust, when the postcard image becomes a brutal reality.”

“The first dinner-party of a bride's career is a momentous occasion, entailing a world of small anxieties. The accomplishments which have won her acclaim in the three years since she left the schoolroom are no longer enough. It is no longer enough to dress exquisitely, to chuse jewels exactly appropriate to the situation, to converse in French, to play the pianoforte and sing. Now she must turn her attention to French cooking and French wines. Though other people may advise her upon these important matters, her own taste and inclinations must guide her. She is sure to despise her mother's style of entertaining and wish to do things differently. In London fashionable people dine out four, five times a week. However will a new bride - nineteen years old and scarcely ever in a kitchen before - think of a meal to astonish and delight such jaded palates?”

“This looks wonderful, girls," Mama said. "Your father is going to be so surprised. You know how much he loves your krumkaker." "Crumbs cake-r." Anna tried hard to say the word, but she never could. "Crumb cake?" Mama and Elsa laughed. "Krumkaker," Mama said, the word rolling off her tongue smoothly. "I've been using this recipe since I was your age. I used to bake these with my best friend." "That's where you learned to bake with love," Anna said. "Yes, I did," Mama agreed, fixing Anna's right pigtail.”

“Während eine Prägung bei einem Tier dauerhaft und unveränderlich ins Verhaltensrepertoire aufgenommen wird und wie angeboren wirkt, zeichnet sich der Mensch dadurch aus, Grenzen (auch Mauern!) zu überwinden. Das zeigt seine Evolution, wie der Kulturgeograf Werner Bätzing in seinem Buch "Homo destructor" nachzeichnet. Der Mensch kann von sich selbst abstrahieren und andere Perspektiven einnehmen, letztlich andere Wege beschreiten. Dass dies nicht immer glücklich ist, oftmals katastrophale Folgen hat, ist ein anderes Thema.”

“Of course, my mother is her own person. Of course, she contains multitudes. She reacts in ways that surprise me, in part, simply because she isn't me. I forget this and relearn it anew because it's a lesson that doesn't, that can't, stick. I know her only as she is defined against me, so when I see her as herself, like when she gets catcalled on the street, there's dissonance…”

“I smiled and looked at her- there she was with such a genuine grin and twinkle in her eyes. I kissed my mother on her forehead and took a long look in to her hazel eyes. I wondered when I would have the next chance to see her as I whispered, 'I love you." Mother didn't respond. She didn't look well- she had a tint of green and yellow to her skin and her thinning hair was a dull salt and pepper color, cut extra short and clinging to her scalp. She had no makeup on, which told me she just had no more energy. I began to walk out of her room and turned to look at her. I wanted to run up to her, shake her, and beg her to tell me she loved me and was proud of me. But when I looked at her, she was already sleeping.”

“Gail bent over the face. Suddenly, she lurched backward. Her hand went to her forehead. “Oh! This is Lloyd Crocker, the love of my life! We were engaged at the end of high school. He was the nicest, sweetest boy, but I messed up.” “You? How did you mess it up?” “Oh, he took me to a party at his friend’s house and I started flirting with his friend for some reason, maybe to make him jealous; I don’t remember. So, Lloyd took me home and asked for his ring back. He said he couldn’t trust me. Oh, I was brokenhearted over him. After I married Rich, Lloyd looked me up and we went for a walk. By then, he had a child and so did I. Oh, how I’ve regretted losing him. I hope he had a good life.” Elsie recognized her mother’s feckless heart had never truly been rehabilitated. She could forget anyone if the next person in line seemed entertaining.”

“Nej, dét der drev hende, og som skilte os ad, var dét at jeg tænkte. Hun havde ikke forstået at dét, at tage en uddannelse betød at jeg ville begynde at tænke: tænke sammenhængende og tænke højt. Hun blev voldsomt overrasket over det. Mine sætninger blev længere allerede efter en måneds undervisning. Længere, mere indviklede og med ord hvis betydning hun ikke altid kendte. Jeg havde aldrig før sagt ord, hun ikke kendte. Eller frembragt en sætning hvis logik hun ikke kunne følge. Eller forsøgt at fremsætte et synspunkt, der var resultatet af en abstraktion. Det gjorde hende vanvittig. Hendes ansigt fik et udtryk af dyrisk snedighed når jeg påbegyndte en sætningskonstruktion som umuligt kunne afsluttes før der var blevet fyret tre bisætninger af. Snedigheden førte til vrede, vreden flammede op og blev til raseri. “Hver er det du snakker om”? Råbte hun ad mig. “Hvad er det du snakker om? Tal engelsk, tak! Vi forstår alle sammen engelsk her. Så tal engelsk!”

“MOTHER IS WATER I wish I could Shower your head with flowers And anoint your feet with my tears, For I know I have caused you So much heartache, frustration and despair – Throughout my youthful years. I wish I could give you The remainder of my life To add to yours, Or simply erase The lines on your face, And mend all that has been torn. For next to God, You are the fire That has given light To the flame in each of my eyes. You are the fountain That nourished my growth, And from your chalice – Gave me life. Without the wetness of your love, The fragrance of your water, Or the trickling sounds of Your voice, I shall always feel thirsty.”

“Why, how, did my mother start making her birds? I don't know; I never asked. I suppose it was like growing up with a mother who goes to church on Sundays or gets her hair done every two weeks. Why? How? But the child whose mother goes to church on Sundays does not ask those questions, because to that child, it is a perfectly normal thing to do, to go sit on hard benches in a roomful of people discussing the specifics of a fairy tale (yes, I've shown my hand here, I suppose, but sooner or later you and I will have to have this discussion) and then having cookies and coffee afterward and chatting about the weather.”

“She reached for a bottle on the counter behind Eleanor and rubbed a drop of vanilla behind each of the girl's ears. Eleanor raised her shoulders like it tickled. "Why do you always do that? I smell like a Strawberry Shortcake doll." "I do it," her mom said, "because it's cheaper than perfume, but it smells just as good." Then she rubbed some vanilla behind her own ears and laughed.”
