Boiled

Famous quotes containing the word boiled:

    You could not hate the cannibal they wrote
    Of, with the nostril bone-thrust, who could dote
    On boiled or roasted fellow thigh and throat.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with its head, legs, and inner organs.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 12:8-9.

    A sentimental aphorism is even more a surprise than a hard- boiled sonnet.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
