Cups Quotes - Page 22

• I remember, I remember
  The roses, red and white,
  The violets, and the lily-cups,
  Those flowers made of light!
  The lilacs, where the robin built,
  And where my brother set
  The laburmum on his birthday,-
  The tree is living yet.

  Thomas Hood

• I wasn’t like, boo hoo, Bin Laden’s dead, but I wasn’t jumping. America’s a very nationalistic country, and in episodes like that of his death, it becomes jingoism. People are drinking, dancing in the street, chanting USA like they’re at the World Cup, like they won it… It’s sick that we turned it into a sporting event.

• The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure — and so often, people are unsure — is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.
