“As sure as the vine Twines 'round the stump You're my darling sugar lump.”

“The rose is red, the violet's blue, Sugar's sweet and so are you. If you love me as I love you, No knife can cut our love in two. My love for you will never fail As long as pussy has a tail.”

“An idea fell like a seed and over the next weeks it went on growing like a fig vine lush and conquering twining round her old beliefs and covering them in new growth until they were as invisible as a tiger in a thicket and just as deadly.”

“I think of thee!-my thoughts do twine and budAbout thee, as wild vines, about a tree...Yet, O my palm-tree, be it understoodI will not have my thoughts instead of theeWho art dearer, better!”

“Men and women ain't lumps of sugar. They don't melt because the water is sometimes warm.”

“What else? A handful of hard white sugar lumps from the supply for the master's table. Sugar and cake and blood and pork. That's what little boys are made of. ”

“My dear soul, flee from the worthless,stay close only to those with a pure heart.Like attracts like.A crow will lead you to the graveyard,a parrot to a lump of sugar.”
