Lettuce Quotations
Lettuce is like conversation; it must be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
Feed the lettuce to the bunny and eat the bunny.
Dashiell Hammett
We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
Jane Elliot
The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people.
Cesar Chavez
It's pronounced 'Romaine,' like the lettuce.
Rebecca Romijn
It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is 'soporific'.
Beatrix Potter
