Ceremonial Food

Famous quotes containing the words ceremonial and/or food:

    “The greatest honor that can be paid to the work of art, on its pedestal of ritual display, is to describe it with sensory completeness. We need a science of description.... Criticism is ceremonial revivification.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “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)
