Red Meat Consumption

Famous quotes containing the words red, meat and/or consumption:

    Her fortune, too, lies there,
    Converted into cool hard steel
    And right red velvet lining;
    While over her tan impassivity
    Shot silk is shining.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
    Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
