Famous quotes containing the words flavour and, flavour, product and/or variants:

    ... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a “work” of man.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.
