“True love is like bread. It needs the right ingredients, a little heat, and some magic to rise.”

“In a world of sorrow, love was an act of will. All you needed were the right ingredients.”

“A novel rough draft is like bread dough; you need to beat the crap out of it for it to rise.”

“I burned liked oil, you grew like a flower, rising toward your magical hour. I was not yours and you were not mine, our true love finds us when it is time”

“Baking bread is a lot like growing your faith in the Lord, Carrie Louise. You mix together the best ingredients you can find and wait for the mixture to mature, but it's the heat of the oven that makes it something of worth and substance. The same way the tribulations of this world mature a persons faith.”

“Bread – like real love – took time, cultivation, strong loving hands and patience. It lived, rising and growing to fruition only under the most perfect circumstances.”
