Famous quotes containing the word bread:

    “Union ... brothers ... Marx ... capital ... bread and butter ... love. It was all Greek to me.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “As a preacher, I should be prompted to tell men, not so much how to get their wheat bread cheaper, as of the bread of life compared with which that is bran. Let a man only taste these loaves, and he becomes a skillful economist at once.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
    Loved the wood rose, and left it on its stalk?
    At rich men’s tables eaten bread and pulse?
    Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
