Craving Quotes

"It always happens in places where you`d rather not be recognized. Like one time, I was just getting ready to go to bed, but I had this craving for a glass of milk. So I go to the supermarket, and I have like no makeup on, and this couple comes up to me and they`re like `Thursday night!`. They sort of yelled it across the vegetable bin, and I`m like, `Okay, don`t look at me, I look awful. I`m going over here by the celery now.`"

There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food.

These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch.
