Isaac Watts Quotes

The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.

People don't even understand that every bit of our food was once alive. We take another creature, plant, animal, microorganism, tear it apart in our mouths. And incorporate those molecules into our own bodies. We are the Earth in the most profound way.

The whole of nature is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and passive.

Food is all those substances which, submitted to the action of the stomach, can be assimilated or changed into life by digestion, and can thus repair the losses which the human body suffers through the act of living.

A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm

I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which all kinds of composition and decompositions are formed.

I take my part in the food chain very seriously.

The sun is the most important thing in everybody's life, whether you're a plant, an animal or a fish, and we take it for granted.

We eat, therefore we hunt.

When it comes to literal nourishment, the food we eat, life begets life.

Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.

It is common knowledge now that we depend on insects for our continued existence; that, without key pollinators, the human population would collapse in less than a decade.

And although our bodies are bounded with skin, and we can differentiate between outside and inside, they cannot exist except in a certain kind of natural environment.

I didn't just eat hot dogs. I studied how the food went into your system and how it would be digested.

No human civilization could ever sever our dependence on photosynthesis.

Life eats life to live.

The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and in the passive.

Digestion is one of the most delicately balanced of all human and perhaps angelic functions.

Rain is good for vegetables, and for the animals who eat those vegetables, and for the animals who eat those animals.

What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were broken down into other molecules and they went into the earth and were eaten by worms and went into the plants and if we go and dig in the same place in 10 years there will be nothing exept his skeleton left. And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is a part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.

All the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.

The universe is nothing without the things that live in it, and everything that lives, eats.

We are what we eat, it is often said, but of course that's only part of the story. We are what what we eat eats too.

Land is not merely soil, it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants and animals.

The earth is a machine which yields almost gratuitous service to every application of intellect. Every plant is a manufacturer of soil. In the stomach of the plant development begins. The tree can draw on the whole air, the whole earth, on all the rolling main. The plant is all suction-pipe,--imbibing from the ground by its root, from the air by its leaves, with all its might.
