Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or food:
“Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“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?”
