Cabbage

D. H. Lawrence Novelist, Poet

"My God, what a clumsy olla putrida James Joyce is! Nothing but old fags and cabbage stumps of quotations from the Bible and the rest, stewed in the juice of deliberate, journalistic dirty-mindedness—what old and hard-worked staleness, masquerading as the all-new!"

James Russell Lowell Poet, Essayist

"The question of common sense is always: 'what is it good for?' - a question which would abolish the rose and be answered triumphantly by the cabbage."

Red Smith Sportswriter

"I like to get where the cabbage is cooking and catch the scents."

William Alcott Physician, Author

"Lettuce, greens and celery, though much eaten, are worse than cabbage, being equally indigestible without the addition of condiments. Besides, the lettuce contains narcotic properties. It is said of Galen, that he used to obtain from a head of it, eaten on going to bed, all the good effects of a dose of opium."
