Famous quotes containing the word food:
“Thought product and food product are to me
Nothing compared to the producing of them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Hume, and other skeptical innovators, are vain men, and will gratify themselves at any expense. Truth will not afford sufficient food to their vanity; so they have betaken themselves to errour. Truth, Sir, is a cow that will yield such people no more milk, and so they are gone to milk the bull.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
