Supper Quotes (page 2)

And suddenly, not a soul's at the store as for other & similar & just as blank reasons, they've gone to the silence, the suppers of their own mystery. Jack Kerouac
Bella Abzug quote: "Maybe we weren't at the Last Supper, but we're certainly going..."
Maybe we weren't at the Last Supper, but we're certainly going to be at the next one. Bella Abzug
Baudelaire had supper at the table next to ours. He was without a cravat, his shirt open at the neck and his head shaved, just as if he were to be guillotined. A single affectation: his little hands washed and cared for, the nails kept scrupulously clean. The face of a maniac, a voice that cuts like a knife, and a precise elocution that tries to copy Saint-Just and succeeds. Edmond de Goncourt
He ate his supper without bread. A double helping and bread--that was going too far. The bread would do for tomorrow. The belly is a demon. It doesn't remember how well you treated it yesterday; it'll cry out for more tomorrow. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
How perverse! just when everything seems to be in order and as families gather round the table to have supper, the phantom of the superclass appears, selling impossible dreams: luxury, beauty, power. And the family falls apart Paulo Coelho
And [he] sailed back over a yearand in and out of weeksand through a day and into the night of his very own roomwhere he found his supper waiting for himand it was still hot Maurice Sendak
Stephen King quote: "You’ll consider what you did wrong & bookend your reflections..."
You’ll consider what you did wrong & bookend your reflections with hunger – no supper, no breakfast. Stephen King
Sue Grafton quote: "What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?"
What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else? Sue Grafton
Charles M. Schulz quote: "A watched supper dish never fills!"
A watched supper dish never fills! Charles M. Schulz
The restaurant was waning, indifferently relaxing its illusion: for the late-comers a private illusion took its place. Their table seemed to stand on their own carpet; they had a sensation of custom, sedateness, of being inside small walls, as though dining at home again after her journey. She told him about her Mount Morris solitary suppers, in the middle of the library, the rim of the tray just not touching the base of the lamp... the fire behind her back softly falling in on its own... Elizabeth Bowen
At least part of the reason I am a SNOOT is that for years my mom brainwashed us in all sort of subtle ways. Here's an example. Family suppers often involved a game: if one of us children made a usage error, Mom would pretend to have a coughing fit that would go on and on until the relevant child had identified the relevant error and corrected it. It was all very self-ironic and lighthearted; but still, looking back, it seems a bit excessive to pretend that your small child is actually... David Foster Wallace
From "Her Kind"I have found the warm caves in the woods, filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves, closets, silks, innumerable goods; fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves: whining, rearranging the disaligned. A woman like that is misunderstood. I have been her kind. Anne Sexton
A white lie is not a lie at all. It is where you tell the truth but you do not tell all of the truth. This means that everything you say is a white lie because when someone says, for example, "What do you want to do today?" you say, "I want to do painting with Mrs. Peters," but you don't say, "I want to have my lunch and I want to go to the toilet and I want to go home after school and I want to play with Toby and I want to have my supper Mark Haddon
Or you can broil the meat, fry the onions, stew the garlic in the red wine...and ask me to supper. I'll not care, really, even if your nose is a little shiny, so long as you are self-possessed and sure that wolf or no wolf, your mind is your own and your heart is another's and therefore in the right place. M. F. K. Fisher
Though we eat little flesh and drink no wine, Yet let's be merry; we'll have tea and toast; Custards for supper, and an endless host. Of syllabubs and jellies and mincepies, And other such ladylike luxuries. Percy Bysshe Shelley
