Cup Handicap

Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or handicap:

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I have the handicap of being born with a special language to which I alone have the key.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
