Dinners

Famous quotes containing the word dinners:

“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women. As the years pass and fires cool, it can become unimportant to stay always on fair terms either with women or one’s fellows, but a wide and sensitive appreciation of fine flavours can still abide with us, to warm our hearts.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)

“I’ll rhyme you so eight years together, dinners and suppers
and sleeping-hours excepted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“You need not rest your reputation on the dinners you give.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
