Famous quotes containing the words condiments and/or sauces:
“Let your condiments be in the condition of your senses.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
