Served

Famous quotes containing the word served:

“When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.”

“Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
