"I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up." ― Lynda Barry Topic(s): Food More From Lynda Barry "The library was open for one hour after school let out. I hid there, looking at art books and reading poetry." "My mom didn’t want me to go to college. She didn’t want me to read – when I read, I may as well have been holding a pineapple." "If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile." More In Food "LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food; sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites."― Henry Fielding "The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened."― Tom Wolfe "In the southern half of the country perhaps no crop has larger possibilities for quick increase of production of food for both men and animals than the sweet potato."― David F.
