Famous quotes containing the words tea and, tea, fruit and/or punch:

    “O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    “Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea.”
    —Irving Caesar (b. 1895)

    “Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother’s womb.”
    —Jean Arp (1887–1948)

    “There are two kinds of fathers in traditional households: the fathers of sons and the fathers of daughters. These two kinds of fathers sometimes co-exist in one and the same man. For instance, Daughter’s Father kisses his little girl goodnight, strokes her hair, hugs her warmly, then goes into the next room where he becomes Son’s Father, who says in a hearty voice, perhaps with a light punch on the boy’s shoulder: “Goodnight, Son, see ya in the morning.””
    —Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
