Boiled Potatoes

Famous quotes containing the words boiled and/or potatoes:

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

“It would be as wise to set up an accomplished lawyer to saw wood as a business as to condemn an educated and sensible woman to spend all her time boiling potatoes and patching old garments. Yet this is the lot of many a one who incessantly stitches and boils and bakes, compelled to thrust back out of sight the aspirations which fill her soul.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
