Famous quotes containing the words sweet, cream and/or butter:
“In social halls a favored guest
In years that follow victory won,
How sweet to feel your festal fame
In woman’s glance instinctive thrown:
Repose is yours—your deed is known,”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Hank: It ain’t gonna be a bit different than it was in Redding, P.A. And we’re going over just as big.
Queenie: Oh, Hank. Do you think so?
Hank: Why it’s cream in the can, baby!”
—James Gleason (1886–1959)
“Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
