Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Feed him ye must, whose food fills you.
    And that this pleasure is like raine,
    Not sent ye for to drowne your paine,
    But for to make it spring againe.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “Most vegetarians I ever see looked enough like their food to be classed as cannibals.”
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
