Tastes

Famous quotes containing the word tastes:

    The poet’s body even is not fed like other men’s, but he sometimes tastes the genuine nectar and ambrosia of the gods, and lives a divine life. By the healthful and invigorating thrills of inspiration his life is preserved to a serene old age.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But it’s hard to farm
    Between the stumps:
    The cows get thin, the milk tastes funny,
    The kids grow up and go to college
    They don’t come back
    the little fir-trees do
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    Our self-love can less bear to have our tastes than our opinions condemned.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
