Provided it be well and truly made there is really for the confirmed turophile no such thing as a bad cheese. A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be oversophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milk's leap toward immortality. ~Clifton Fadiman, "The Cheese Stands Alone," Any Number Can Play, 1957
The cow is of the bovine ilk;

As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists. ~Joan Gussow, 1986
In shape, it is perfectly elliptical. In texture, it is smooth and lustrous. In color, it ranges from pale alabaster to warm terra cotta. And in taste, it outstrips all the lush pomegranates that Swinburne was so fond of sinking his lyrical teeth into. ~Sydney Harris, "Tribute to an Egg," 1957
Truly, thou art damn'd, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side. ~William Shakespeare, As You Like It, c.1599

MILKY WAY The beaten path that runs from the cow-shed to the pump. ~Charles Wayland Towne, The Altogether New Foolish Dictionary, by Gideon Wurdz, 1914
My forthcoming work in five volumes, "The Neglect of Cheese in European Literature," is a work of such unprecedented and laborious detail that it is doubtful if I shall live to finish it. I cannot yet wholly explain the neglect to which I refer. Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. Virgil, if I remember right, refers to it several times, but with too much Roman restraint. He does not let himself go on cheese. Except Virgil and the anonymous rhymer of "If all the trees were bread and cheese," I can recall no verse about cheese. Yet it has every quality which we require in exalted poetry. It is a short, strong word, and it rhymes to "breeze" and "seas." Cheese has also variety, the very soul of song. ~G. K. Chesterton [A little altered. And it's not true! See my page of cheese poetry.
CUSTARD, n. A detestable substance produced by a malevolent conspiracy of the hen, the cow, and the cook. ~Ambrose Bierce
ALAS! my CHILD, where is the PEN that can do justice to the HEN?
Like ROYALTY, she goes her way laying FOUNDATIONS every day,
Though not for PUBLIC BUILDINGS, yet for CUSTARD, CAKE and OMELETTE
Or if TOO OLD for such a use they have their FLING at some ABUSE:
As when, to CENSURE PLAYS UNFIT, upon the STAGE they make a HIT,
Or at ELECTIONS SEAL the FATE of an OBNOXIOUS CANDIDATE.
No wonder, CHILD, we prize the HEN, whose EGG is mightier than the PEN.
~Oliver Herford, "The Hen," 1901
