Pipe Build Cake

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

    Blest are those
    Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
    That they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger
    To sound what stop she please.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.
    Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)

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