“We can choose to function at a lower level of awareness and simply exist, caring for our possessions, eating, drinking, sleeping and managing in the world as pawns of the elements, or we can soar to new and higher levels of awareness allowing ourselves to transcend our environment and literally create a world of our own - a world of real magic.” WorldRealSleepLevelsEnvironmentMagicAwarenessHigherElementsEatingFunctionDrinkingPossessionCaringAllowingSoarOur EnvironmentHigher LevelPawns Author:Wayne Dyer
“EAT, v.i. To perform successively (and successfully) the functions of mastication, humectation, and deglutition. 'I was in the drawing-room, enjoying my dinner,' said Brillat-Savarin, beginning an anecdote. 'What!' interrupted Rochebriant; 'eating dinner in a drawing-room?' 'I must beg you to observe, monsieur,' explained the great gastronome, 'that I did not say I was eating my dinner, but enjoying it. I had dined an hour before.'” SaidEnjoyHoursRoomsFoodEatingFunctionCookingDinnerDrawingCulinaryInterruptedAnecdotesEating Dinner Book:Delphi Complete Works of Ambrose Bierce (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Ambrose Bierce (Illustrated)
“In doing zazen it is desirable to have a quiet room. You should be temperate in eating and drinking, forsaking all delusive relationships. Setting everything aside, think of neither good nor evil, right nor wrong. Thus having stopped the various functions of your mind, five up even the idea of becoming a Buddha.” ThinkingShouldMindIdeasEvilRoomsFiveBecomingQuietEatingFunctionDrinkingVariousSettingSettingsDesirableEating And DrinkingQuiet Room Author:Dogen
“In India in particular, where millions have no home but the streets, virtually every life event is carried out in public: prayer, eating, sleeping, nursing, crude dentistry, even bodily functions.

“Your body is you. That's your temple. So, eating wisely helps you function for the day. If you want to look good and feel good, you gotta eat good. What you put into your temple, man, is very important. I learned that later on in life, but I started putting that into practice. I'm not perfect in my eating. I just try to live healthily, and to take care of myself so that during this lifetime I can live good.” IfsMenWantFeelsTryingLooksI CanImportantHelpingBodyCarePerfectPracticeEatingFunctionLifetimeTake CareYour BodyFeel GoodTemplesNot PerfectI'm Not Perfect Author:Common
“A lot of people in this country are obese because of a form of malnutrition. One thing I'd like to do is to help people understand the correlation between a steady diet of empty calories - though you may not experience hunger pangs, you can't really function well if all you're eating are things like ramen noodles, or chips, cookies, and sodas, things that are quite typically inexpensive and affordable because of the way we subsidize the ingredients that go into them.” PeopleIfsWayWellsMayCountryHelpingFormOne ThingEatingEmptyFunctionHungerDietsIngredientsSteadyChipsCookiesAffordableCaloriesCorrelationSodaMalnutritionObeseInexpensiveNoodlesRamen Author:Lori Silverbush
“There are certain bodily functions of mine which I will not allow to be supervised. One of these is eating. Nobody's going to license me to do this. Another one is bodily disposals. I will defecate and urinate when I damn well please and as the spirit -and the physical necessity -moves me. And my sex life is peculiarly my own. I will engage in sexual activity with a consenting male any time and any place I damn well please.” WellsMovingLife IsSpiritCertainSexMy OwnMinesPleaseActivityEatingFunctionMalesDamnLicenseBodily Functions Author:Madalyn Murray O'Hair
“Doing things like playing music, something that's so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food.
