And the Quangle Wangle said to himself on the crumpetty tree, jam; and jelly; and bread; are the best of food for me.

Edward Lear

 

Happiness is like jam. You can't spread it without getting some on yourself.

Marmalade in the morning has the same effect on taste buds that a cold shower has on the body.

I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.

D. H. Lawrence

“I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" the Queen said. "Twopence a week, and jam every other day." Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me - and I don't care for jam."
"It's very good jam," said the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any today, at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said.
"The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never today."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam today'," Alice objected.
"No it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: today isn't any other day, you know.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass
