“It is all but impossible to sit quietly by when someone is throwing salad plates.”

“I would like, stare at my salad, and that was like really the first time I ever really had like flashes of the whole world like falling apart of collapsing. Like, the salad just didn’t make any sense at all, if that makes any sense. Like, ‘what the hell is happening, why is there like, little pieces of plants on a plate? Like, what is going on?’ and it’s like this little moments when like nothing makes any sense at all.”—”

“And if you worry that not finishing the food on your plate is a slap in the face of all the hungry people everywhere, you are not living in reality. The truth is that you either throw the food out or you throw it in, but either way it turns to waste. World hunger will not be solved by finishing the garlic mashed potatoes on your plate.”

“I hope that when people are happy together, it feels as though someone keeps piling seconds and thirds on their plates.”

“It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.”

“When happiness settles upon you like a butterfly, sit very quiet and remember the colors”
