Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or mill:

    A good neighbour, even in this,
    Is fatal sometimes, cuts your morning up
    To mince-meat of the very smallest talk,
    Then helps to sugar her bohea at night
    With your reputation.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    I was thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we can just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we got something here.
    Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)
