Kitchen Work

Famous quotes containing the words kitchen and/or work:

    Builder, in building the little house,
    In every way you may please yourself;
    But please please me in the kitchen chimney:
    Don’t build me a chimney upon a shelf.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    As a man has no right to kill one of his children if it is diseased or insane, so a man who has made the gradual and conscious expression of his personality in literature the aim of his life, has no right to suppress himself any carefully considered work which seemed good enough when it was written. Suppression, if it is deserved, will come rapidly enough from the same causes that suppress the unworthy members of a man’s family.
    —J.M. (John Millington)
