Dish

Famous quotes containing the word dish:

Sometimes and always, with mixed feelings?”

“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)

“You make a toast for tomorrow
and smash the cup,
letting your false women lap the dish I had to fatten up.”
