Eaten

Famous quotes containing the word eaten:

“Why the ghosts of poor old dead Romans should be dragged in every time a man eats an oyster, I don’t see. We’re as fine specimens as they were. I swear I shan’t let any old turned-to-clay Lucullus outlive me, even if I’ve never eaten a lamprey.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“We have already eaten breakfast to the accompaniment, in our morning newspapers, of too many “Yankee Go Home” signs, too many riots, too many denunciations of ourselves, to believe that leadership, even in the cause of peace, can reward us with international laurel wreaths.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

“Your stature is modelled
with straight tool-edge:
you are chiselled like rocks
that are eaten into by the sea.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
