I don't like to not call a spade a spade.

I'll order anything that has the word 'fig' or 'crusted' in the menu description.

A great fig should look like it's just about to burst its skin. When squeezed lightly it should give a little and not spring back. It must be almost unctuously sweet, soft and wet.

I have to admit that I can't take a whole fig and eat it on its own as I would a peach or mango. It's just too much.

I've never turned over a fig leaf yet that didn't have a price tag on the other side.

The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.

Our Lord never condemned the fig tree because it brought forth so much fruit that some fell to the ground and spoiled. He only cursed it when it was barren.

No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

We all have hourglass figures; your sand just settles in different places.
