“And pomp, and feast, and revelry, With mask, and antique pageantry, Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild, And ever, against eating cares, Lap me in soft Lydian airs, Married to immortal verse Such as the meeting soul may pierce, In notes with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out.” IfsWellsMayChildrenLongSoulDreamCareAirStagePoetEatingSummerMarriedSightMeetingsNotesWoodsStreamsFancyNativeMaskImmortalVersesSweetnessLinkedLapSweetestSockPierceAntiquesAnonPageantryRevelry Author:John Milton
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food.

“The people who are out to destroy the environment think they're going to get away with it. Are they breathing different air than we're breathing? Are they eating different food? I mean, where do they think they're going to go? What do they think is going to be better than what they have destroyed? I just don't get it.” PeopleThinkingMeanDifferentEnvironmentAirEatingDestroyedBreathingGet Away Author:Bette Midler
“WE two boys together clinging, One the other never leaving, Up and down the roads going, North and South excursions making, Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching, Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving. No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening, Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing, Fulfilling our foray.” TwoTogetherLawEnjoyWaterSleepCitiesBoysAirSeaArmsEatingDancingDrinkingSouthFingersLeavingFearlessBreathingBeachEasePriestsFulfillingCompanionshipSailingThreateningChasingUp And DownStretchingClingingElbowsMisersStatutesTurfExcursionsNorth And South Book:Walt Whitman's Songs of Male Intimacy and Love: Source: Walt Whitman's Songs of Male Intimacy and Love:

“I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along. I am aging and eaten and have done my share of eating too. I am not washed and beautiful, in control of a shining world in which everything fits, but instead am wondering awed about on a splintered wreck I've come to care for, whose gnawed trees breathe a delicate air, whose bloodied and scarred creatures are my dearest companions, and whose beauty bats and shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite of them.” WorldDoneCareBeautifulWonderAirTreeShareFitCreaturesEatingShiningAgingBreatheFallenSpiteCompanionSurvivorImperfectionDelicateBatsWrecksGetting AlongFallen World Author:Annie Dillard
“Most of life is offline, and I think it always will be; eating and aching and sleeping and loving happen in the body. But it's not impossible to imagine losing my appetite for those things; they aren't always easy, and they take so much time.

“So it is always preferable to discuss the matter of veganism in a non-judgemental way. Remember that to most people, eating flesh or dairy and using animal products such as leather, wool, and silk, is as normal as breathing air or drinking water. A person who consumes dairy or uses animal products is not necessarily or usually what a recent and unpopular American president labelled an "evil doer.” PeopleWayPersonsMatterUseRememberEvilEasyPresidentWaterAnimalAirProductsNormalEatingDrinkingClimate ChangeFleshBreathingGlobal WarmingVeganismLeatherSilkDoersDairyDrinking WaterAmerican PresidentWoolJudgementalClassismFrancioneEvil DoersNon Judgemental Author:Gary L.

“Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.” LifeSometimesNationsEnjoySimpleRaceAirInfluenceConditionsPureDiseaseEatingPatientBreathingInsanityCivilizedTemporaryDisorderArtificialPhysiciansRemovalImmunityAilmentsTemporary InsanitySimple Food Book:The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary Source: The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
