Famous quotes containing the words electric and/or honey:

    The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow, outvalues all the theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Her body is a honey bowl
    Whose waiting honey is deep and hot.
    Her body is like summer earth,
    Receptive, soft, and absolute . . .
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
