"Girls are not accustomed to jockeying for status in an obvious way; they are more concerned that they be liked."

Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.

— Walter Benjamin
