"I watched that big Oregon prairie moon above me put all the stars around it to shame."

— One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey

"It was a splendid morning too. Like the pulse of a perfect heart, life struck straight through the streets."

— Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf

"It was on a dreary night of November, that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs."

— Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, 1818

Gouda, turkey, heirloom tomato and kale with garlic mustard. Happy National Grilled Cheese Day!

"I once received a letter from an old lady in California who informed me that when the tired reader comes home at night, he wishes to read something that will lift up his heart. And it seems her heart had not been lifted up by anything of mine she had read. I think that if her heart had been in the right place, it would have been lifted up."

— Flannery O’Connor
