Famous quotes containing the word liquid:

    “Taking a good mouthful, I felt as though I had taken liquid fire; the tomato was chile colorado, or red pepper, of the purest kind. It nearly killed me, and I saw Gómez’ eyes twinkle for he saw that his share of supper was increased.”
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
