Bowed

Famous quotes containing the word bowed:

“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“... having bowed to the inevitability of the dictum that we must eat to live, we should ignore it and live to eat ...”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

“And, hungry for the old, familiar ways,
I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.”
—Claude McKay (1889–1948)
