If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865)
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, ‘Gift From the Sea’
This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind. The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.
Honore de Balzac (1799 – 1850)
There are three intolerable things in life – cold coffee, lukewarm champagne, and overexcited women.
Orson Welles (1915 – 1985)
