A Quote by Thomas M. Disch

But the toaster was quite satisfied with itself, thank you. Though it knew from magazines that there were toasters who could toast four slices at a time, it didn't think that the master, who lived alone and seemed to have few friends, would have wanted a toaster of such institutional proportions. With toast, it's quality that matters, not quantity.

We did not have a toaster growing up. I never knew what a toaster was, it was only as I got older, we got a toaster.

Gemma Collins

Toast was a pointless invention from the Dark Ages. Toast was an implement of torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal form the sins and crimes of their past lives. Toast was a ritual item devoured by fetishists in the belief that it would enhance their kinetic and sexual powers. Toast cannot be explained by any rational means. Toast is me. I am toast.

Margaret Atwood

Toaster: A gift that every member of the family appreciates. Automatically burns toast.

Dave Barry

I once went out with this wild girl. She made French toast and got her tongue caught in the toaster.

Rodney Dangerfield

It would be nice to be a piece of toast. Everyone likes a piece of toast, don't they? No one is ever sad when you offer them a piece of toast, and if I could be that to someone, that would be nice.

Jon Richardson

I remember when I was growing up, you would go to a bank to open a deposit, and they'd give you a toaster. A free toaster. These days, if you're a company, and you go to a bank, they could easily turn you away! They don't want your deposits anymore.

Mohamed El-Erian

For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.

Alanis Morissette

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?

Peter Kay

One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen was the morning I opened the newspaper and it said that some very powerful government officials had decided to change the name of “french fries” to “freedoom fries” and “french toast” to “freedom toast”. It was impressive. I wanted to write a letter to them just to thank them, just for proving globally that they were absolute imbeciles.

Johnny Depp

The only reason I wanted 'Making Toast' as the title is that it is a simple gesture of moving on. Every morning there's the bread and you make the toast and you start the day.

Roger Rosenblatt

I have trouble with toast. Toast is very difficult. You have to watch it all the time or it burns up.

Julia Child

We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now. And tried to reach beyond the emptiness, but neither one knew how.

Dan Fogelberg

I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

Joan Rivers

I like the smell of toast. Coffee is okay, but I don't drink much coffee. But toast is a nice smell. You smell some toast coming from your kitchen in the morning, you know that you're involved in a domestic situation and the operation that's going on is pleasant.

Robert Duvall

I love my lifestyle now, but at the end of nine months, you're toast. You are toast. It's like running a marathon. You can't think while you're doing it. Especially when different directors come in who are not part of the posse, the circle
