Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or cuisine:

“When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Thank God for the passing of the discomforts and vile cuisine of the age of chivalry!”
