Famous quotes containing the words chicken, soup and/or soul:
“‘Yesterday I saw God. What did he look like? Well, in the
afternoon I climbed up a ladder—he as a cheap cabin in the
country, like Monroe, NY the chicken farms in the wood. He was a lonely old man with a white beard.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Good intentions are not enough. They’ve never put an onion in the soup yet.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
“As for conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that. Let not your right hand know what your left hand does in that line of business. It will prove a failure.... It is a greater strain than any soul can long endure. When you get God to pulling one way, and the devil the other, each having his feet well braced,—to say nothing of the conscience sawing transversely,—almost any timber will give way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
