- Quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
“We’ll have tea and toast, Custards for supper, and an endless host, Of syllabubs and jellies and mince-pies, And other such lady-like luxuries”. - Quotes by George Bernard Shaw
“I’m only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller. There is no love sincerer than the love of food”. - Quotes by William Shakespeare
“There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny: the three hooped pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it a felony to drink small beer. O, who can hold a fire in his hand, By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appiite, By bare imaginationof a feast? Falstaff sweats to death, And lards the lean earth as he walks along. He hath eaten me out of house and home. Who with a body fill’d and vacant mind, Gets him to rest, cramm’d with distressful bread. I am a great eater of beef and I believe that does harm to my wit. Now in the name of all the gods at once, Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, That he is grown so great? He was a man, Of an unbounded stomach. I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment. Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature, If it be well used. But mice and rats and such small deer, Have been Tom’s food for seven long year. I have yet, Room for six scotches more“.
