Because she jumbles up so many cultural categories, because she is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist; because she wears makeup and heels and eats mooseburgers and is Alaska Tough, as Time magazine put it; because she is conservative, and pro-2nd Amendment and pro-life; and because conservatives can smell this sort of thing - who is really one of them and who is not - and will fight to the death for one of their beleaguered own; because of all of this she is a real and present danger to the American left, and to the Obama candidacy. (Peggy Noonan)
I think the man who eats the bread of idleness is under a certain obligation to speak well of labor. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
You are what you eat, but eventually you become what eats you. View quote
Ashleigh Brilliant
The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is time? It is a serpent which eats its tail. View quote
Kurt Vonnegut
The fool that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well. View quote
George Walter Thornbury
I am that one person Who eats his breakfast, Gazing at morning nothing. View quote
Matsuo Bashō
This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the employments of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description. View quote
Lord Byron
Everyone goes to the same exhibitions and the same parties, stays in the same handful of hotels, eats at the same no-star restaurants, and has almost the same opinions. I adore the art world, but this is copycat behavior in a sphere that prides itself on independent thinking. View quote
Jerry Saltz
No pure delight cheers the farmer whose mind is intent on the price he shall get for his crops rather than on the joy there is in tilling them and seeing them grow and ripen: for such an one does not love the land nor his home nor any of the most beautiful and sacred things, but tends to become like the brute that eats and sleeps and dies. His thoughts are with what feeds the animal, and that which nourishes the human is hidden from him. View quote
John Lancaster Spalding
Faith does not first ask what the bread is made of, but eats it. It does not analyze the components of the living stream, but with joy draws water from the " wells of salvation." (John Rose Macduff)
Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away at a citizen's faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct for innovation and creativity; already-tight national budgets, crowding out important national investments. It wastes the talent of entire generations. It scares away investments and jobs. View quote
Joe Biden
But if you're a man who eats the crops of the earth, a mortal born for death-here, come closer, the sooner you will meet your day to die! View quote
Homer
They [the previous chiefs of old] looked after the island, the fish, the turtles. They watched and did things that were good for the people...I have been to Hawaii, to Saipan, to Guam, to Tahiti, to Los Angeles. Don't they see that soon, very soon, change will crash on this island like a wave? [...] I am afraid of what's happening to my island. [...] I think money will break this island. Now on Woleai, Lamotrek, Pulusuk, and Puluwat, too, people fish in their motorboats and ask for money when they divide the catch. This was never our custom. In our custom everybody eats, not just those with money. View quote
Mau Piailug
When valor preys on reason, It eats the sword it fights with. View quote
William Shakespeare
A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who ''lives well.'' View quote
Elbert Hubbard
But there is another side which we must never overlook. Hate is just as injurious to the person who hates. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. View quote
Martin Luther King Jr.
Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets. View quote
Guru Nanak Dev
In loneliness, the lonely one eats himself; in a crowd, the many eat him. Now choose. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
Instinct. When the house burns one forgets even lunch. Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
History is moving the furniture around in the house of mankind just about everywhere but the U.S.A. Things have changed, except here, where people come and go through the rooms of state, and everything looks shabbier by the day, and lethargy eats away at the upholstery like an acid fog, and the walls reverberate with meaningless oratory. (James Howard Kunstler)
This surface good-nature which captivates a new acquaintance and is no bar to treachery, which knows no scruple and is never at fault for an excuse, which makes an outcry at the wound which it condones, is one of the most distinctive features of the journalist. This camaraderie (the word is a stroke of genius) corrodes the noblest minds; it eats into their pride like rust, kills the germ of great deeds, and lends a sanction to moral cowardice. View quote
Honoré de Balzac

The important thing is that we get good data. One person. Lots of people. All the same. But bad experimental design? That's what sin really is,” Cortázar slurred. "That's not me either. Nature eats babies all the time. View quote
Daniel Abraham
You will hear people say that poverty is the best spur to the artist. They have never felt the iron of it in their flesh. They do not know how mean it makes you. It exposes you to endless humiliation, it cuts your wings, it eats into your soul like a cancer. It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank, and independent. View quote
W. Somerset Maugham
