Pipe Build Cake

Famous quotes containing the words pipe, build and/or cake:

    If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    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)

    The first year was like icing.
    Then the cake started to show through.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
