Famous quotes containing the words food and/or city:
“Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“From Washington, proverbially “the city of distances,” through all its cities, states, and territories, it is a country of beginnings, of projects, of designs, and expectations.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
