Distilled Mustard

Famous quotes containing the words distilled and/or mustard:

    I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.
    Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)

    when wine redeems the sight,
    Narrowing the mustard scansions of the eyes,
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
