Famous quotes containing the words time and/or served:
“Parents have railed against shelters near schools, but no one has made any connection between the crazed consumerism of our kids and their elders’ cold unconcern toward others. Maybe the homeless are not the only ones who need to spend time in these places to thaw out.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Why, my cheese, my digestion, why hast thou not served thyself in to my table, so many meals?”
