Only a pint at breakfast-time, and a pint and a half at eleven o'clock, and a quart or so at dinner. And then no more till the afternoon; and half a gallon at supper-time. No one can object to that.

R.D. Blackmore

The pint would call the quart a dualist, if you tried to pour the quart into him.

George Santayana

A pint can't hold a quart - if it holds a pint it is doing all that can be expected of it.

Margaret Deland

If my cup won't hold but a pint and yourn holds a quart, wouldn't ye be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?

Sojourner Truth

I once bought an ill-advised half cashmere, half camel hair jumper for £800, then ruined it by spilling a pint of Guinness all over it.

Peter Crouch

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Hunter S. Thompson

However, one cannot put a quart in a pint cup.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Do not crowd the understanding; it can comprehend so much and no more. A pint pot will not contain the measure of a quart.

Jean Antoine Petit-Senn

I have bought and sold and bought and sold things that have given me great pleasure over the years, and I find I go through phases of what I'm passionate about. And then the next thing comes along, and so the only way of being able to collect the next one is to sell a few of the other ones.

David Linley

I was wishing I'd bought some of that Camp Half Blood orange thermal underwear..." ?!?!

Rick Riordan

Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.

Pearl S. Buck

I've never bought a pint of milk in my life.

John Barnes

Drink reacts on its practitioners in conflicting ways. One brave can knock off a quart of Scotch and look and act as sober as Herbert Hoover. Another, after three Martinis, makes two-cushion carroms off the chaise lounge as he attempts to negotiate the bathroom.

Tallulah Bankhead

Steichen bought my first photographs that I ever sold. He recognized the style from the school of Black Mountain. After that, it was about twenty years before I sold another photograph.
