“I want them to bite into a cookie, and think of me, and smile. Food is love. Food has a power.”
“I want them to bite into a cookie, and think of me, and smile. Food is love. Food has a power. I knew it in my mind, but now I know it in my heart.”
“Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power,has that ability to comfort.”
“Food has power. Nonna knew that. Ma did too. I know it now. And though it can't save me, it might help me, in some way. All I have besides food is grief.”
“I had weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.”
“Give that boy a cookie!"Now really wasn't the time to think about food. And where was she keeping them? In her pockets? They'd be all crumbled. "I don't want one. Thank you."Eyebrows raised, she wrinkled her nose - I must have insulted her by not accepting her offer.”
