Raw Tomatoes

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or tomatoes:

    It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Hunger makes you restless. You dream about food—not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother’s milk singing to your bloodstream.
    Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)
