Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or palm:

    “They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “To see a world in a grain of sand
    And a heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
    And eternity in an hour.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
