“Go along, go along quickly, and set all you have on the table for us. We don't want doughnuts, honey buns, poppy cakes, and other dainties; bring us a whole sheep, serve a goat and forty-year old mead! And plenty of vodka, not vodka with all sorts of fancies, not with raisins and flavorings, but pure foaming vodka, that hisses and bubbles like mad.” WantYearsWholePureTablesMadPlentyFancyFortyCakeHoneyBubblesSheepGoatsVodkaPoppiesDoughnutMeadBunsRaisinsForty Years Old Book:The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol Source: The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol
“And oft I thought (my fancy was-so strong) That I, at last, a resting-place had found: 'Here: will I dwell,' said I,' my whole life long, Roaming the illimitable waters round; Here will I live, of all but heaven disowned.

“I wish that restaurateurs would choose simpler and smaller glassware. The tables on restaurants these days are way too crowded, and mostly because the plates are too odd looking and big, and the wine glasses are so gigantic that it takes up the whole surface area and you can't move. I prefer smaller glassware.” WayWholeBigsMovingWishAreasTablesWineGlassesSurfaceThese DaysOddRestaurantsPlatesCrowdedWine Glass Author:Geoffrey Zakarian
“We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can.
