Barbara Kingsolver
“When we traded homemaking for careers, we were implicitly promised economic independence and worldly influence. But a devil of a bargain it has turned out to be in terms of daily life. We gave up the aroma of warm bread rising, the measured pace of nurturing routines, the creative task of molding our families' tastes and zest for life; we received in exchange the minivan and the Lunchable.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

Margaret Visser
“Fast-food outlets are cultural institutions dedicated not only to dealing with mankind's compulsion to eat and drink regularly, but also to doing battle with his twin and fatal limitations of space and time.”
Margaret Visser, Much Depends on Dinner: The Extraordinary History and Mythology, Allure and Obsessions, Perils and Taboos of an Ordinary Meal

Gaston Bachelard
“I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.”
Gaston Bachelard , The Poetics of Space

Barbara Ehrenreich

Barbara Ehrenreich, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Diane Ackerman
“Words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the world.”
Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
