Famous quotes containing the words catalan and/or health:
“It’s better that it should make you sick than that you don’t eat it at all.”
—Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.
“It is always singular, but encouraging, to meet with common sense in very old books, as the Heetopades of Veeshnoo Sarma; a playful wisdom which has eyes behind as well as before, and oversees itself. It asserts their health and independence of the experience of later times. This pledge of sanity cannot be spared in a book, that it sometimes pleasantly reflect upon itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
