Famous quotes containing the words breton and/or cuisine:

    “To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery—even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness—is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself. Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “Thank God for the passing of the discomforts and vile cuisine of the age of chivalry!”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
