Famous quotes containing the words food and, food and/or culture:

    Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
    and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
    in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
    with its store of food and little cooking pans
    and change of clothes,
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Who doth ambition shun,
    And loves to live i’ th’ sun,
    Seeking the food he eats,
    And pleased with what he gets,
    Come hither, come hither, come hither!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
