10 QUOTES WITH «BOILED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word boiled.
1
Peter Ackroyd
His head was boiled, impaled upon a pole and raised above London Bridge. So ended the life of Thomas More, one of the few Londoners upon whom sainthood has been conferred and the first English layman to be beatified as a martyr.
2
Uzo Aduba
When it comes to inmates, we have boiled them down to just the few things we know about them - their crime, their current life situation, their identification number. But the reality is they were something before they were their crime.
3
Nellie Bly
Even that was all consumed after two days, and the patients had to try to choke down fresh fish, just boiled in water, without salt, pepper or butter; mutton, beef, and potatoes without the faintest seasoning.
4
Julie Burchill

5
Alberto Giacometti
It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
6
Carl Honore
We live in a culture that's been hijacked by the management consultant ethos. We want everything boiled down to a Power Point slide. We want metrics and 'show me the numbers.' That runs counter to the immensely complex nature of so many social, economic and political problems. You cannot devise an algorithm to fix them.
7
Cliff Martinez

8
Haruki Murakami
I'm kind of a big kettle. It takes time to get boiled, but then I'm always hot.
9
Margot Robbie
Certainly there's a huge appeal to the '60s, because it was such a big turning point to everyone. It was the era of change, the boiling point. People rebelled against things - the hippies, the feminists, the protesters. All these things just built up and boiled over. I think people can relate to that today.
10
John Scalzi
Personally speaking, when everything is boiled down to the marrow, I think the reason Reddit tolerates the creepy forums has to do with money more than anything else.
