Famous quotes containing the words cake and/or sale:
“The first year was like icing.
Then the cake started to show through.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I keep thinking that what I need
to do is buy my leg back.
Surely it is for sale somewhere,
poor broken tool, poor ornament.
It might be in a store somewhere beside a lady’s scarf.”
