Eaten

Famous quotes containing the word eaten:

“Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the Sphinx wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before we began to live consciously on our own accounts?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“I tell you solemnly
That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes—
What a sublime end of one’s body, what an enskyment; what a life
after death.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 9:17.
