on Food

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma Ghandi

A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure.
Shipyard Brewing Company, Portland, Maine

The greatest peril of life lies in the fact that human food consists entirely of souls.
Buster Kailek, Inuit elder, quoted at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis

Sacred cows make the best hamburger.
Mark Twain

Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread.
D.T. (Daniel Thambyrajah) Niles, (1908-1970) Sri Lankan evangelist, ecumenical leader and hymn writer

There’s a hunger beyond food that’s expressed in food, and that’s why feeding is always a kind of miracle. It speaks to a bigger desire. The feeding of the five thousand, the miracle wasn’t that Jesus multiplied the loaves.  It’s that the disciples took the bread and did what they were told, got up and started feeding, and something happened.
William Swing, Episcopal Bishop of California, quoted in Sara Miles’ book “Take This Bread” (Ballantine, 2008)

Stay thirsty, my friends.
“The Most Interesting Man in the World” (Jonathon Goldsmith) in the Dos Equis television ads
