Do you have a favorite coffee quote?

I recently picked-up a copy of the Coffee Lover's Bible (Jill Yates) at a bookstore. I highly recommend it as coffee table fodder for any and all Java Junkies out there. Not only will you be exposed to interesting facts about coffee, but you'll find yourself laughing and smiling as you read coffee excerpts pulled from a multitude of sources. Following are a couple of my immediate favorites....

* "Listen," I told him. "Don't be so tough so early in the morning. I'm sure you've cut plenty people's throats. I haven't even had my coffee yet."
- Earnest Hemingway, To Have and Have Not

* "One sip of this
Will bathe the drooping spirits in delight
Beyond the bliss of dreams"
- John Milton, Seventeenth-century English poet

* "After a few months' acquaintance with European 'coffee,' one's mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed."
-Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad, 1880

* Having known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
- T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock, 1915


Do you have any coffee related "drips" worth sharing?
