Exact Shape

Famous quotes containing the words exact and/or shape:

“Hunger makes you restless. You dream about food—not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother’s milk singing to your bloodstream.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)

“An unlicked bear”
—Trans. by Johanna Prins.

Dutch expression meaning “a boor”: from the old belief that bear cubs are licked into shape by their mothers.
