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)

    I will build him a sure house...
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:35.

    God.

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