Civilized People Quotes


“Civilised adults do not take apple juice with dinner.”

Fran Lebowitz, ‘Metropolitan Life’ (1978)

 

“There is a vast difference between the savage and the civilised man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast.”

Helen Rowland (1876-1950) ‘A Guide to Men’

 

“The gentle art of gastronomy is a friendly one. It hurdles the language barrier, makes friends among civilized people, and warms the heart.”

Samuel Chamberlain

 

“We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks.”

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1831-1891) ‘Lucile’ (1860)

 

“The artichoke above all is the vegetable expression of civilised living, of the long view, of increasing delight by anticipation and crescendo. No wonder it was once regarded as an aphrodisiac. It had no place in the troll's world of instant gratification. It makes no appeal to the meat-and-two-veg mentality.”

Jane Grigson (1928-1990) ‘Vegetable Book’ (1978)
