“Most modern candies, however, derive their licorice flavoring from the anise herb rather than an extract from the licorice root itself. Consequently, eating licorice-flavored candy is probably not a means of cavity prevention. I look forward to seeing more research done on these compounds that have shown to inhibit the chief cavity-causing bacterium.”
J. Kavin Kelp
“Licorice root has been used for medicinal purposes in many cultures for thousands of years.”
“It's about like pizza dough, like licorice-flavored pizza dough.”
Stephen Robinson
“It was darker than a pitch-black panther, covered in tar, eating licorice at the very bottom of the deepest part of the Black sea.”
Lemony Snicket
“When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.”
Bob Marley
“Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
Bible
“The air was fragrant with a thousand trodden aromatic herbs, with fields of lavender, and with the brightest roses blushing in tufts all over the meadows. . . .”
William Cullen Bryant
