Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or roast:
“Sure smokers have made personal choices. And they pay for those choices every day, whether sitting through an airline flight dying for a smoke, or dying for a smoke in the oncology wing of a hospital. The tobacco companies have not paid nearly enough for the killing.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“You are a roast beef I have purchased
and I stuff you with my very own onion.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
