Roux/types

Famous quotes containing the words roux and/or types:

“Say nothing good of yourself, you will be distrusted; say nothing bad of yourself, you will be taken at your word.”
—Joseph Roux (1834–1886)

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
