Cup Quotes (page 17)

Tea would arrive, the cakes squatting on cushions of cream, toast in a melting shawl of butter, cups agleam and a faint wisp of steam rising from the teapot shawl. Gerald Durrell
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. Robert Burns
The privileges of the side-table included the small prerogatives of sitting next to the toast, and taking two cups of tea to other people's one. Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens quote: "My dear if you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle..."
My dear if you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head I should better understand your affairs. Charles Dickens
Long after Pacifiique's gay whistle had faded into the phantom of music and then into silence far up under the maples of Lover's Lane Anne stood under the willows, tasting the poignant sweetness of life when some great dread has been removed from it. The morning was a cup filled with mist and glamor. In the corner near her was a rich surprise of new-blown, crystal-dewed roses. The trills and trickles of song from the birds in the big tree above her seemed in perfect accord with her mood. A... L. M. Montgomery
And did I not think then, What nonsense it is to suppose one man so different from another when all that life really boils down to is getting a decent cup of coffee and room to stretch out in? Alice Munro
And at this hour of the day it is no good saying'Take away this cup';Having helped to fill it ourselves it is only logic. That now we should drink it up. Louis MacNeice
Anthony Trollope quote: "What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and..."
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil? Anthony Trollope
Edmund White quote: "His ribs were as visible as hands around a cup."
His ribs were as visible as hands around a cup. Edmund White
Presently, out from the wrappings came a teapot, which caused her to clasp her hands with delight, for it was made in the likeness of a plump little Chinaman ... Two pretty cups with covers, and a fine scarlet tray, completed the set, and made one long to have a "dish of tea," even in Chinese style, without cream or sugar. Louisa May Alcott
In the widely open cup of the armchair was I-330. I, on the floor, embracing her limbs, my head on her lap. We were silent. Everything was silent. Only the pulse was audible. Like a crystal I was dissolving in her, in I-330. I felt most distinctly how the polished facets which limited me in space were slowly thawing, melting away. I was dissolving in her lap, in her, and I became at once smaller and larger, and larger, unembraceable. For she was not she but the whole universe. For a second I... Yevgeny Zamyatin
I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup. On the marble table-top. While on the shop and street I gazed. My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less. It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless. William Butler Yeats
I'm unaware that my feet are moving to the table until I'm inches from the holograph. My hand reaches in and cups a rapidly blinking green light. Someone joins me, his body tense. Finnick, of course. Because only a victor would see what I see so immediately. The arena. Laced with pods controlled by Gamemakers. Finnick's fingers caress a steady red glow over a doorway. "Ladies and gentlemen..."His voice is quiet, but mine rings through the room. "Let the Seventy-sixth Hunger Games begin! Suzanne Collins
Steve Martin quote: "Why sip from a tea cup, when you can drink from the river."
Why sip from a tea cup, when you can drink from the river. Steve Martin
Words, words, word. Once, I had the gift. I could make love out of words as a potter makes cups of clay. Love that overthrows empire. Love that binds two hearts together, come hellfire & brimstone. For sixpence a line, I could cause a riot in a nunnery. But now -- I have lost my gift. It's as if my quill is broken, as if the organ of my imagination has dried up, as if the proud -illegible word- of my genius has collapsed. Jeffrey Eugenides
