Single Dish

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or dish:

    The passion to condense from book to book
    Unbroken wisdom in a single look,
    Though we know well that when this fix the head,
    The mind’s immortal, but the man is dead.
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
