Bread Quotes (page 13)

It sure is a pleasure not having Flume around in the mess hall any more. No more of that 'Pass the salt, Walt.'"Or 'Pass the bread, Fred.'"Or 'Shoot me a beet, Pete. Joseph Heller
A dollar for a human bought a loaf of bread that was eaten in a few bites. The same dollar for Wee Mad Arthur bought the same-sized loaf, but it was food for a week and could then be further hollowed out ans used as a bedroom. Terry Prachett
The toaster (lacking real bread) would pretend to make two crispy slices of toast. Or, if the day seemed special in some way, it would toast an imaginary English muffin. Thomas M. Disch
The value of the myth is that it takes all the things we know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by ‘the veil of familiarity.’ The child enjoys his cold meat, otherwise dull to him, by pretending it is buffalo, just killed with his own bow and arrow. And the child is wise. The real meat comes back to him more savory for having been dipped in a story…by putting bread, gold, horse, apple, or the very roads into a myth, we do not retreat from reality: we rediscover it. C. S. Lewis
M. F. K. Fisher quote: "There is communion of more than our bodies when bread is..."
There is communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk. M. F. K. Fisher
Without a clear perception of his reasons for living, man will never consent to live, and will rather destroy himself than tarry on earth, though he be surrounded with bread". Fyodor Dostoevsky
Traditional progressive bread and butter economic issues are the heart of the solution. It's about ensuring decent jobs with a good wage. It's about ensuring a free public education in all the communities of America, whether they are in the shiny new affluent suburbs or the crumbling old schools of the older suburbs and cities. It's about ensuring a system where all Americans have access to health care, instead of a steadily declining share of our population. Paul Wellstone
Haruki Murakami quote: "Of what value is a civilization that can't toast a piece of..."
Of what value is a civilization that can't toast a piece of bread as ordered? Haruki Murakami
Friendship exhibits a glorious "nearness by resemblance" to Heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest. That, says an old author, is why the Seraphim in Isaiah's vision are crying "Holy, Holy, Holy" to one another (Isaiah VI, 3). The more we thus share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall all have. C. S. Lewis
Paul saith, 'Not of works, lest any man should boast.' Now, faith excludes all boasting. The hand which receives charity does not say, 'I am to be thanked for accepting the gift'; that would be absurd. When the hand conveys bread to the mouth it does not say to the body, 'Thank me; for I feed you.' It is a very simple thing that the hand does though a very necessary thing; and it never arrogates glory to itself for what it does. So God has selected faith to receive the unspeakable gift of His... Charles Spurgeon
Janet Flanner quote: "In the history of art there are periods when bread seems so..."
In the history of art there are periods when bread seems so beautiful that it nearly gets into museums. Janet Flanner
Suzanne Collins quote: "The flour. The wrestling. I have kept track of the boy with..."
The flour. The wrestling. I have kept track of the boy with the bread. Suzanne Collins
You know how some kids get excited about the first day of school and have an outfit all picked out and a new lunch box and stuff? Well, they're bleeping idiots. Can we play hooky?" Iggy muttered as he scrambled eggs. Somehow I suspect they're picky about that," I said, dropping more bread into the toaster. "I bet they'd call Anne."I look like prep school Barbie," Nudge complained, as she entered the kitchen. She caught sight of me in my uniform and looked mollified. "Actually, you look like... James Patterson
My companion at the press drank every day a pint before breakfast, a pint at breakfast with his bread and cheese, a pint between breakfast and dinner, a pint at dinner, a pint in the afternoon about six o’clock, and another when he had done his day’s work. Benjamin Franklin
No yoga exercise, no meditation in a chapel filled with music will rid you of your blues better than the humble task of making your own bread. M. F. K. Fisher
