Sweet Almonds

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or almonds:

“I am a sort of martyr, as you see,
A horizontal monument to patience.
The calves of waitresses parade about
My helpless head upon this sodden floor.
Well, I am down again, but not yet out.
O sweet frustrations, I shall be back for more.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“One would give plenty of almonds if one had eyes to see the beauty of a receiving hand.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
