Famous quotes containing the word food:

Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most vegetarians I ever see looked enough like their food to be classed as cannibals.”
