Cook

Famous quotes containing the word cook:

    There’s terrific merit in having no sense of humour, no sense of irony, practically no sense of anything at all. If you’re born with these so-called defects you have a very good chance of getting to the top.
    —Peter Cook (b. 1937)

    Though language forms the preacher,
    ‘Tis “good works” make the man.
    —Eliza Cook (1818–1889)

    From what I have said of the natives of New Holland they may appear to some to be the most wretched people upon earth; but in reality they are far happier than we Europeans, being wholly unacquainted not only with the superfluous, but with the necessary conveniences so much sought after in Europe; they are happy in not knowing the use of them.
    James, Captain Cook (1728–1779)
