Lettuce Quotations

Jane Elliot

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people.
Cesar Chavez

Lettuce is like conversation; it must be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.
Charles Dudley Warner

Dashiell Hammett

It's pronounced 'Romaine,' like the lettuce.
Rebecca Romijn
