I am a man without many pleasures in life, a man whose few pleasures are small, but a man whose small pleasures are very important to him. One of them is eating. One reading. Another reading while eating.

Amanda Filipacchi

I do have a thing for eating out; that's one of life's great middle-age pleasures.

Rick Astley

The pleasure of eating should be an extensive pleasure, not that of the mere gourmet. People who know the garden in which their vegetables have grown and know that the garden is healthy will remember the beauty of the growing plants, perhaps in the dewy first light of morning when gardens are at their best. Such a memory involves itself with the food and is one of the pleasures of eating. (pg. 326, The Pleasures of Eating)

Wendell Berry

Work, especially if you're lucky in what you do, is one of the great pleasures of life, but - like all pleasures - it can become selfish.

Peter Hitchens

all pleasures should be taken in great leisure and are worth going into in detail; love is not like eating a quick lunch with one's hat on.

Mae West

Eating is one of the great beauties in life. One of my favorite recreations... eating with friends, the service, the ambience.

LeRoy Neiman

One of life's most over-valued pleasures is sexual intercourse; of one of life's least appreciated pleasures in defecation.

Mark Twain

Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.

Elsa Schiaparelli

It would not do for the consumer to know that the hamburger she is eating came from a steer who spent much of his life standing deep in his own excrement in a feedlot, helping to pollute the local streams. Or that the calf that yielded the veal cutlet on her plate spent its life in a box in which it did not have room to turn around. Wendell Berry, "The Pleasures of Eating," What Are People For?, 1989 Jesus pioneered a relationship ethic based on compassion. Being a disciple means building relationships - with the Creator and with all creation and creatures.

Leonard Sweet

The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.

Aldous Huxley

Going to a restaurant is one of my keenest pleasures. Meeting someplace with old and new friends, ordering wine, eating food, surrounded by strangers, I think is the core of what it means to live a civilised life.
