Famous quotes containing the word food:

    The urge for Chinese food is always unpredictable: famous for no occasion, standard fare for no holiday, and the constant as to demand is either whim, the needy plebiscite of instantly famished drunks, or pregnancy.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

    Who doth ambition shun,
    And loves to live i’ th’ sun,
    Seeking the food he eats,
    And pleased with what he gets,
    Come hither, come hither, come hither!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
