Life is Like an Artichoke

Oliver Wendell Holmes, letter to Frederick Pollock (January 17, 1887), in Holmes-Pollock Letters (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1946), p. 30:
Life is like an artichoke; each day, week, month, year, gives you one little bit which you nibble off — but precious little compared with what you throw away.
