Boiled Rice

Famous quotes containing the words boiled and/or rice:

    You could not hate the cannibal they wrote
    Of, with the nostril bone-thrust, who could dote
    On boiled or roasted fellow thigh and throat.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The arbitrary division of one’s life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.
    —Alice Caldwell Rice (1870–1942)
