Extra Virgin Olive

Famous quotes containing the words extra, virgin and/or olive:

    “But that beginning was wiped out in fear
    The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
    And was come after like Eurydice
    And brought down safely from the upper regions;
    And the life I live now’s an extra life
    I can waste as I please on whom I please.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Sir Charles: Are you?
    Princess Dala: What?
    Sir Charles: What they call you—the Virgin Queen?
    Princess Dala: I’m not a queen.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    “Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
