"Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums but you know they were made to be used. The pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real." -Marge Piercy, from "To Be of Use"

Don't you think baby corns are scary? There's just something wrong about their midget bodies.

Marked, P.C. Cast

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance that imitation is suicide that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.

Self Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson

"It's brave, even if it's barmy to stamp on corns all round and never care" [George Orwell]

"I'm addicted to laughing, success, happiness, wholesomeness and all types of good for everyone and everything in the entire world and universe from the beginning of time until the end thereof or of it. Do not be satisfied with any less than that, lest you get fries thrown on the squishy baby's face
