Famous quotes containing the words poisoning, tainted and/or food:

    It is beyond a doubt that during the sixteenth century, and the years immediately preceding and following it, poisoning had been brought to a pitch of perfection which remains unknown to modern chemistry, but which is indisputably proved by history. Italy, the cradle of modern science, was at that time, the inventor and mistress of these secrets, many of which are lost.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    So that the reverence and the gaiety
    May not be forgotten in later experience,

    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
