Famous quotes containing the words hasty and/or pudding:
“For he could coin, or counterfeit
New words, with little or no wit;
Words so debas’d and hard, no stone
Was hard enough to touch them on;
And when with hasty noise he spoke ‘em;
The ignorant for current took ‘em;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
