Famous quotes containing the word bread:
“Our bread need not ever be sour or hard to digest. What Nature is to the mind she is also to the body. As she feeds my imagination, she will feed my body; for what she says she means, and is ready to do. She is not simply beautiful to the poet’s eye. Not only the rainbow and sunset are beautiful, but to be fed and clothed, sheltered and warmed aright, are equally beautiful and inspiring. There is not necessarily any gross and ugly fact which may not be eradicated from the life of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“O monstrous! but one half-penny-worth of bread to this
intolerable deal of sack!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without soup or bread in it.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
