Quotes



God made food; the devil the cooks.

Ulysses
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

A Room of One's Own
It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive.

Norwegian Wood
I live on good soup, not on fine words
I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand
In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires
Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat
There is no sincerer love than the love of food
The glutton is much more than an animal and much less than a man
