Famous quotes containing the words taste and/or response:

    “When love is broken,
    then patched up
    and cruelty is obvious,
    like water boiled,
    then cooled,
    its taste goes flat.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Eyes seeking the response of eyes
    Bring out the stars, bring out the flowers,
    Thus concentrating earth and skies
    So none need be afraid of size.
    All revelation has been ours.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
