Famous quotes containing the words partially, hardened and/or vegetable:

    A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion must excite your
    languid spleen,
    An attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a
    not-too-French French bean!
