Distilled

Famous quotes containing the word distilled:

    I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.
    Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)

    My veins are filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg. However I still get around and am mean to cats.
    John Cheever (1912–1982)

    Its flowers’ distilled honey is so sweet
    It makes the butterflies intemperate.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
