Famous quotes containing the words fed and/or cup:
“And what was too nasty to feed a dog—that is precisely what you threw down before your god. Did he perhaps die of what you fed him?”

No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
