Darker Roux

Famous quotes containing the words darker and/or roux:

    One night, under cover of darkness, and further concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into his happy home, and robbed them all of everything. And darker yet to tell, the blacksmith himself did ignorantly conduct this burglar into his family’s heart. It was the Bottle Conjurer! Upon the opening of that fatal cork, forth flew the fiend, and shrivelled up his home.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Say nothing good of yourself, you will be distrusted; say nothing bad of yourself, you will be taken at your word.
    —Joseph Roux (1834–1886)
