Sponge Cake

Famous quotes containing the words sponge and/or cake:

    He who has been impoverished for a long time ... who has long stood before the door of the mighty in darkness and begged for alms, has filled his heart with bitterness so that it resembles a sponge full of gall; he knows about the injustice and folly of all human action and sometimes his lips tremble with rage and a stifled scream.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

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