Walker Percy

Playing without the fundamentals is like eating without a knife and fork. You make a mess

Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

Bible

The major Jewish dietary laws rest on a single premise: Eating meat is a moral compromise. There is a difference between eating a hamburger and eating a bowl of cereal. For one of them, a living creature had to be killed.

Mahaparinirvana

Flesh eating is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act, which is contrary to moral feeling: killing.

The directors of Synthank were eating an enormous luncheon to celebrate the launching of their new product. Some of them wore the plastic face-masks popular at the time.

Glenn Beck

Winter's here, and you feel lousy: You're coughing and sneezing; your muscles ache; your nose is an active mucus volcano. These symptoms -- so familiar at this time of year -- can mean only one thing: Tiny fanged snails are eating your brain.

Dave Barry

Eating is an agricultural act.

Wendell Berry
