Famous quotes containing the word spices:
“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“And silence her six
And mix
Her spices and core
And slice her apples, and find her four.
Continuing her part
Of the world’s business.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Genuine polemics approach a book as lovingly as a cannibal spices a baby.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
