Eat Pea Soup

Famous quotes containing the words eat, pea and/or soup:

    Never invite to dinner: those who won’t decide until the last minute; those who come more than half an hour late; those who want to bring along two or three friends; drunks; monologists; those who stay until three o’clock in the morning; those who think that conversation means having an argument; those who take a high moral tone; those who are stupid, ugly, or dull. Enforcement of these rules will enable one to eat alone every night in comfort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.
    Russell Baker (b. 1925)

    He scream’d out—‘Take the soup away!
    O take the nasty soup away!
    I won’t have any soup to-day.’
    Heinrich Hoffmann (1809–1894)
