Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “I believe that every man who has ever been earnest to preserve his higher or poetic faculties in the best condition has been particularly inclined to abstain from animal food, and from much food of any kind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “For ordinary people, food is heaven.”
    —Chinese proverb.
