Best Quotes about Food and eating
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Steinem, Gloria
There is only one thing harder than looking for a dewdrop in the dew, and that is fishing for a clam in the clam chowder.
Proverb, New England
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark
For its merit I will knight it, and then it will be Sir-Loin.
Charles II
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Schiaparelli, Elsa
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
Schwarzenegger, Arnold
He who eats alone chokes alone.
Proverb, Arabian
You can travel fifty thousand miles in America without once tasting a piece of good bread.
Miller, Henry
The one way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life.
Connolly, Cyril
Although there is a great deal of controversy among scientists about the effects of ingested food on the brain, no one denies that you can change your cognition and mood by what you eat.
Winter, Arthur
It isn't so much what's on the table that matters, as what's on the chairs.
Gilbert, W. S.
That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbism does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.
Skinner, Cornelia Otis
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.
Cooke, Alistair
Put a knife to thy throat, if you're a man given to appetite.
Bible
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Hackett, Buddy
Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.
Bryson, Bill
Hunger is a good cook.
Proverb
The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake.
Proverb
Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.
Robbins, Anthony
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.
Beard, James
We know that every woman wants to be thin. Our images of womanhood are almost synonymous with thinness.
Orbach, Susie
Appetite comes with eating; the more one has, the more one would have.
Proverb, French
A store of grain, Oh king is the best of treasures. A gem put in your mouth will not support life.
Hitopadesa
A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen.
Hubbard, Kin
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may diet.
Kurnitz, Harry
Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.
Vries, Peter De
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin
Edible. Good to eat and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Bierce, Ambrose
I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I am President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
Bush, George
The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.
Butler, Samuel
We are digging our graves with our teeth.
Moffett, Thomas
To eat is human, to digest divine.
Copeland, Charles T.
There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.
Santayana, George
Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like -- and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres.
Munro, Hector Hugh
Square meals often make round people.
Cossman, E. Joseph
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.
Maximus, Tyrius
Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.
Proverb, Turkish
Avoid fresh meats, which angry up the blood. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. Go very light in the vices such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain't restful. Don't look back. Someone might be gaining on you.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
Socrates
If you're going to America, bring your own food.
Lebowitz, Fran
We seldom report of having eaten too little.
Jefferson, Thomas
Roast Beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life's Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entr?es, the hors d'oeuvres, and the things ? la though you know that Roast Beef, medium, is safe and sane, and sure.
Ferber, Edna
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead -- not sick, not wounded -- dead.
Allen, Woody
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Proverb, French
Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.
Montesquieu, Charles De
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew
Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
