- “The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.” ~ John Piper
- “O.K.” “Gee I’m glad.” “Me too. I’m so sick of hot dogs and beer and apple pie with cheese on the side I could heave it all in the river.” “You’ll love it, Frank.

They are right. Comin’ up! For hours afterwards. I couldn’t believe the crust of an apple pie! Same grease!” ~ Mercedes McCambridge

A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs.” ~ Francesca Lia Block
