Sugar Crisp

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or crisp:

    ‘Tis the voice of the Lobster; I heard him declare,
    ‘You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair.’
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance. Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
