“Sure, I eat because I have to. But I also eat because I want to. It is one of life’s few pleasures.”

“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.”

“In the morning, I do not eat because I think of you... At noon, I do not eat because I think of you...In the evening, I do eat because I think of you...At night, I do not sleep because I am hungry!”

“I eat not because I want to, not because I have to overcome anything, not to prove myself to anyone, but because it's there. I eat because that's what people do. And somehow when the food is put in front of you by an institution, when there's a large gray force behind it and you don't have to thank anyone for it, you have the animal instinct to make it disappear,”

“Sometimes, I wish you were on a diet. Not because you need it, but because I want to eat your food.”

“I'm pretty sure that eating chocolate keeps wrinkles away because I have never seen a 10 year old with a Hershey bar and crows feet.”
