Tomato Quotes?

Too much time out in the sun plucking ripe tomatoes off the plants, I guess. How else would it have made me think there could possibly be quotes about tomatoes?
A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins." - Laurie Colwin
"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." - Lewis Grizzard
Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good." - Alice May Brock

How did the Italians eat spaghetti before the advent of the tomato? Was there such a thing as tomato-less Neapolitan pizza?” - Elizabeth David, An Omelette and a Glass of Wine
