Famous quotes containing the word cup:

    “I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.”
    —Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)

    “In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “I worked as a waitress till I was fired because I dumped a cup of hot coffee in the lap of a half-drunk guy who was pinching my butt.”
    —Juli Loesch (b. c. 1953)
