"The things we buy and buy and buy are like a thick coat of Vaseline smeared on glass: we can see some shapes out there, light and dark, but in our constant craving for what we may still want, we miss too many of life’s details."

"Erica and her mother were with me in the kitchen while I browned the flour in the roasting pan, but they never seemed to get it. And I never taught them because I loved them. I wanted to be invited back."
