Reference Food

Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or food:

“Meaning is what essence becomes when it is divorced from the object of reference and wedded to the word.”

“Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
