Quotations for starvation

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion. [ Ninon de Lenclos ]

To write for a living, according to Mr. Whipple, is coquetting with starvation. [ F. A. Durivage ]

The mind does not know what diet it can feed on until it has been brought to the starvation point. [ Holmes ]

A town, before it can be plundered and deserted, must first be taken; and in this particular Venus has borrowed a law from her consort Mars. A woman that wishes to retain her suitor must keep him in the trenches; for this is a siege which the besieger never raises for want of supplies, since a feast is more fatal to love than a fast, and a surfeit than a starvation. Inanition may cause it to die a slow death, but repletion always destroys it by a sudden one. [ Colton ]
