Famous quotes containing the word eat:
“One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can’t eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours—all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“And within the house
ashes are being stuffed into my marriage,
fury is lapping the walls,
dishes crack on the shelves,
a strangler needs my throat,
the daughter has ceased to eat anything....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.”
—Bible: Hebrew Isaiah 22:13.
