Famous quotes containing the words kitchen and/or sink:

    “She saw all things except herself serene:
    Child, big black woman, pretty kitchen towels.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “After reading Howitt’s account of the Australian gold-diggings one evening,... I asked myself why I might not be washing some gold daily, though it were only the finest particles,—why I might not sink a shaft down to the gold within me, and work that mine.... At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
