"Joe gave me some more gravy...." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“My life is one demd horrid grind.”

“Grief never mended no broken bones.”

“what I want you to be - I don't mean physically but morally: you are very well physically - is a firm fellow, a fine firm fellow, with a will of your own, with resolution. with determination. with strength of character that is not to be influenced except on good reason by anybody, or by anything. That's what I want you to be. That's what your father, & your mother might both have been”

“Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?”

“I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top. It's my go-to breakfast.”

“I was on a bus once, it was in the middle of the night, and I had a box of crackers and a can of Easy Cheese. It was dark, and it was a surprise how much cheese I had applied on each cracker. That's why they should have a glow-in-the-dark version of Easy Cheese. It's not like the product has any integrity to begin with. If you buy a room-temperature cheese that you squeeze out of a can, you probably won't get mad because it glows in the dark too.”

“A table full of welcome makes scarce one dainty dish.”

“Hospitality consists in a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet”

“Let a man behave in his own house as a guest.”
