Famous quotes containing the word cook:

    “A monarchy is like a man-of-war—bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is a danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it. It is a wet place, but it is a pretty safe one.”
    —Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)

    “Even a clever wife finds it hard to cook without rice.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
