There are four basic human needs; Food, sleep, sex and revenge. ~ Banksy #quote

Never have I seen so many young, privileged, people trying so hard to be happy. There are countless articles written about it, blogs named for it, workshops attending to it. Who ever said we’re supposed to be happy all the time, anyway? We’re not. And the pressure to do so might be what’s making us unhappy to begin with. It’s OK if you’re not completely content with your life twenty-four hours a day. Can you imagine what a boring person you’d be if you were? Going through shit storms, feeling uninspired, hating the way you look and having guilt over not accomplishing enough are just some of the things that make you interesting, relatable and human. Not to mention, if you’re reading this, then you have internet access and if you have internet access, it stands to reason that you have a computer, which makes me think you probably have a place to live, with electricity and plenty of food to eat and clean clothes to wear, which are all things that an enormous amount of people living on the planet today do not have. This is not to say that people shouldn’t strive to better their positions in life, however it seems like so many of us are no longer content with a regular amount of happy, yet dead-set on being maniacally jubilant, all of the time. ~ Kelly Rheel #quote

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. ~ Author Unknown #quote

Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water, and when you're tired, go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand. ~ Bruce Lee #Quote

A lot of people don't have much food on their tables, but they got a lot of forks and knives, and they gotta cut something. ~ Bob Dylan, Talking New York Blues #lyrics

The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake. ~ #Proverb

Food is an important part of a balanced diet. ~ Fran Lebowitz #quote

Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness. ~ Henrik Ibsen #quote




A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again. ~ Margaret Mead #quote

I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll; apart from sex and food and money - but that's all the same thing, really. ~ John Lennon #quote

Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry. ~ Charles Baudelaire #quote

I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table. ~ Rodney Dangerfield #Quote

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food. ~ Frank A. Clark #quote

If I could only remember that the days were, not bricks to be laid row on row, to be built into a solid house, where one might dwell in safety and peace, but only food for the fires of the heart. ~ Edmund Wilson #quote

I believed in a good home, in sane and sound living, in good food, good times, work, faith and hope. I have always believed in these things. It was with some amazement that I realized I was one of the few people in the world who really believed in these things without going around making a dull middle class philosophy out of it. I was suddenly left with nothing in my hands but a handful of crazy stars.. ~ Jack Kerouac author of On The Road #quote


If you're going to America, bring your own food. ~ Fran Lebowitz #quote

The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard. ~ Joel Salin #quote

God comes to the hungry in the form of food. ~ Mahatma Gandhi #quote

Remember, men need laughter sometimes more than food. ~ Anna Fellows Johnston #quote

When I get a little money, I buy books. If any is left, I buy food and clothes. ~ Erasmus #quote

At my age the bones are water in the morning until food is given them. ~ Pearl Buck  #quote

The tools I need for my work are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whiskey. ~ William Faulkner #quote

Man cannot survive without air, water and sleep. Next in importance comes food. And close on its heels, solitude. ~ Thomas Szasz #quote

He looked about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food. ~ Raymond Chandler #quote

There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves. ~ George Santayana #Quote

I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining sallow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!! What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without the sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast. ~ Edith Wharton #quote

Odd as I am sure it will appear to some, I can think of no better form of personal involvement in the cure of the environment than that of gardening. A person who is growing a garden, if he is growing it organically, is improving a piece of the world. He is producing something to eat, which makes him somewhat independent of the grocery business, but he is also enlarging, for himself, the meaning of food and the pleasure of eating. ~ Wendell Berry #quote

We can rest contentedly in our sins and in our stupidities, and anyone who has watched gluttons shovelling down the most exquisite foods as if they did not know what they were eating will admit that we can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ~ C.S. Lewis #quote

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley #Quote

I'll tell you about the hopeless night, the meagre food for souls forgot. I'll tell you about the maiden with the wrought-iron soul.  ~ The Doors, The Wasp #lyrics

There is no love sincerer than the love of food. ~ George Bernard Shaw #Quote

 A diet is a selection of food that makes other people lose weight. #oneliners

Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences. ~ Mason Cooley #quote

Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing. ~ Walt Kelly #quote

Food, love, mother and career: the four basic guilt groups. ~ Cathy Gusiewite #quote

I am not a glutton - I am an explorer of food. ~ Erma Bombeck #quote


If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. ~ J. R. R. Tolkien #quote

If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows then we must starve eternally. ~ C.S. Lewis #quote
