Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or cookbooks:

    “Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Central heating, French rubber goods, and cookbooks are three amazing proofs of man’s ingenuity in transforming necessity into art, and of these, cookbooks are perhaps most lastingly delightful.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
