Famous quotes containing the word taste:

    “For months it hasn’t known the taste of steel
    Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
    But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
    Except in towns at night, is not a sin.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “When love is broken,
    then patched up
    and cruelty is obvious,
    like water boiled,
    then cooled,
    its taste goes flat.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
