'The Lucky One' features a young concentration camp survivor named Peter Rashkin - who's about the age my dad was when he started at CBS - working at the Oyster Bar, trying to acclimate to his new country and outrun the memories of the daily he left behind.

Jenna Blum

Well, I suppose I've never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don't get cabs; I'm on the Tube with my Oyster card.

If I want my daughter to try something, I eat it in front of her repeatedly without forcing the issue and, with some trial and error, the world is our oyster!

Alex Guarnaschelli

World Without Wit

People, when they first come to America, whether as travelers or settlers, become aware of a new and agreeable feeling: that the whole country is their oyster.

Alistair Cooke

What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

Anatole France

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

Andrew Carnegie

I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.

Anna Chancellor

I like romantic dates - going on a long walk in Central Park and then taking the subway downtown and going out to eat and ordering oysters. After that, you walk around again and talk.

Ansel Elgort

Romantic You Way

I never thought I'd say this, but to any child listening, the world is your oyster.

Benjamin Clementine

Your You World

Anybody who spends time off of Louisiana's shores can recognize that these oysters are not endangered. To classify them as such risks great harm to not only fishermen who make their living collecting oysters in the Gulf, but also to Louisiana's economy in total.

Shy is the oyster, fervent is the clam, peaceful is the ocean floor rocked by the sands of time.

Bradley Chicho

No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?

C. Day Lewis

Good Art Would

Like the sand and the oyster, it's a creative irritant. In each poem, I'm trying to reveal a truth, so it can't have a fictional beginning.

Carol Ann Duffy

Truth Yin Trying

A cocktail and an oyster is an awfully good thing after a park, especially one close to water.

Chris Thile

Good Water Thing

Life is too short to not have oysters and champagne sometimes.

Christie Brinkley

Time Life Too

I am fortunate: my parents told me the world was my oyster, when they could have said I wouldn't make it for a lot of reasons - rural, girl, small African country. So, no regrets.

People often think of New York as a city, a concrete jungle with soaring skyscrapers and yellow taxis and the bright lights of Times Square. And it is that, in part. But beyond that, it's rolling hills of fruit orchards and fields of grain and ice-cold waters brimming with oysters.

Daniel Humm

Time Art York

The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

David Hume

Life Great Verse

Ellis Island lies in New York Harbor 1,300 feet from Jersey City, New Jersey, and one mile from the tip of Manhattan. At the time of the first European settlement, it was mostly mud, sand, and oyster shells, which nearly disappeared at high tide.

David Souter

It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.

Dolly Parton

Years Year Took

She kindly laments that I am not of the party, and to be sure I honour great ladies, and I admire great wits, but I am of the same opinion in regard to assemblies that is held concerning oysters, that they are never good in a month that has not the letter R in it.

Elizabeth Montagu

Men Great Good

I heard oysters are an aphrodisiac, which I can't stand, but I think anything you eat with your hands is cute. I don't know.

Emily Osment

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.

Federico Fellini

I love rhymes; I love to write a poem about New York and rhyme 'oysters' with 'The Cloisters.' And 'The lady from Knoxville who bought her brassieres by the boxful.' I just feel a sort of small triumph.

Garrison Keillor

I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.

George Berkeley

You don't do oysters and red wine together. That's a no-no; you just don't do that. I love a nice white wine with oysters.

Grace Jones

My first concert - maybe it was 1979 - was a blur. I'm not sure whether it was Blue Oyster Cult/Cheap Trick/Pat Travers at San Jose Civic Auditorium or The Police/The Knack/Robert Johnson at Berkeley's Zellerbach Auditorium.

Greg Gutfeld

You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.

Hector Hugh Munro

A typical Christmas is me shucking oysters. I love them and I always get them in at Christmas.

Hugh Bonneville

I live in the country. I'm a bird-watcher, an oyster-raiser. You know, I'll do anything that - raise dogs for the blind as a volunteer.

Isabella Rossellini

'The Lucky One' features a young concentration camp survivor named Peter Rashkin - who's about the age my dad was when he started at CBS - working at the Oyster Bar, trying to acclimate to his new country and outrun the memories of the daily he left behind.

Jenna Blum

We shot 'Delusion' in the middle of the desert and outside of Las Vegas where they did those underground nuclear bomb testings. So I only ate oysters and drank coffee because I didn't want to turn into a mutant.

Jennifer Rubin

I have played characters where I haven't been absorbed - you know, what I call a typical film leading man role where you just have to look gorgeous and be attractive and charming. It bores me. I like a bit of dirt, a bit of sand in the oyster.

Jeremy Irons

The world's my oyster. But it worries me, all this showing off about being happy. Life is so precarious, and I know terrible things can happen. At the moment, everything is happy.

Jerry Hall

I go out and take oysters, clams and mussels every 2 weeks or so during late fall, winter and early spring. I particularly like to go out when there is a below-average ebb tide because that exposes clamming grounds and oysters that are usually under water.

Jim Himes

New England oysters are better than Chesapeake. But Chesapeake blue crabs are unbeatable.

Jim Himes

I make a wicked clam chowdah, and linguine with clam sauce. Oysters I like to eat raw, and mussels in either a white wine sauce or in beer with paprika.

Jim Himes

For memory, we use our imagination. We take a few strands of real time and carry them with us, then like an oyster we create a pearl around them.

John Banville

In my way of thinking, the world was my oyster, and there were thousands of products that could be developed.

Jon Huntsman, Sr.

He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.

Jonathan Swift

Some feel as though the world is their oyster; others feel as though they were the oyster itself, plucked from the ocean, cracked open, and robbed of all that is precious to them.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

I had my first French meal and I never got over it. It was just marvelous. We had oysters and a lovely dry white wine. And then we had one of those lovely scalloped dishes and the lovely, creamery buttery sauce. Then we had a roast duck and I don't know what else.

Julia Child

That's why you can't be a true Yankee without winter: because all the best pleasures are earned - the fire, the fried oysters; the warmer seasons, too. Who knows the real worth of summer at the beach without a good taste of the seaside in winter?

Julia Glass

If you read, the world is your oyster. It truly is. Reading makes everything possible.

Kate DiCamillo

I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.

Katie Aselton

I love Montauk Pearl oysters. They are briny, creamy, and sweet. To me, they are the perfect oyster.

Katie Lee

I look so fondly back on that time in my life when you first got an agent and you were in your mid-twenties and the world was your oyster.

Katie Lowes

It's a short-lived career and I think I am in my prime now. I'm 34-0 and I want to go to 35-0 in spectacular fashion, and then the world is my oyster.

Kell Brook

Pearl is a disease of oysters. Levant is a disease of Hollywood.

Kenneth Tynan

I think oysters are overrated, and I don't love the texture.

Kevin Dillon

When I wake up in the morning, and I go to the piano, and there's a blank sheet of paper in front of me, by the end of the day, that could be a gold mine. You really do need to wake up and expect that the world is your oyster because it very well may be.
