Famous quotes containing the word roasted:
“Keep out of Chancery.... Its being ground to bits in a slow mill; its being roasted at a slow fire; its being stung to death by single bees; its being drowned by drops; its going mad by grains.”

“After all, it is putting a very high price on ones conjectures to have a man roasted alive because of them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
“Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of taste
For fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;
Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,
And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;
All which have now made thee so wide i the waist
As scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;
But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,
Thou breakst all thy girdles, and breakst forth a god.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
