The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.
Zora Neale Hurston
Image
Oh, God above, if heaven has a taste it must be an egg with butter and salt, and after the egg is there anything in the world lovelier than fresh warm bread and a mug of sweet golden tea?
Frank McCourt
Image
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
Image
I was in Yorkshire. We were a family of five and I used to be sent sometimes to get the rations for the week and was easily able to carry them back. It was like one egg and a tiny bit of tea.
Judi Dench
Image
Frying gives cooks numerous ways of concealing what appeared the day before and in a pinch facilitates sudden demands, for it takes little more time to fry a four-pound carp than to boil an egg.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Image
The egg it is the source of all. Tis everyone's ancestral hall. The bravest chief that ever fought, The lowest thief that e'er was caught, The harlot's lip, the maiden's leg, They each and all came from an egg.
Clarence Day

Your mind is a your temple, keep it beautiful and free. Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Bob Dylan
Image
I think the meaning of the universe is bound up with the egg. ... I am fed up with the meaning of the universe. Everything starts in the egg and ends in death. I think it's called 'the heartbreak at the heart of things.' But then perhaps our very mortality is an egg and at the moment of death our souls will emerge like damp chicks.
Alice Thomas Ellis
Image
Yesterday's news feeds our fear that our neighbours are more likely than not to be bad eggs: benefit fraudsters, bogus asylum seekers, paedophiles or jihadist terrorists.
Julian Baggini
Image
Don't count your eggs until the chicken's laid them.
Bobby Robson

Every director bites the hand that lays the golden egg.
Samuel Goldwyn

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
William Blake
Image
I have wished to see chemistry applied to domestic objects, to malting, for instance, brewing, making cider, to fermentation and distillation generally, to the making of bread, butter, cheese, soap, to the incubation of eggs, &c.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Poached eggs are good, poached animals are not.
Erma Bombeck
Image
Retrospectively, I would agree with Luis Bunuel that sex without sin is like an egg without salt.
Carlos Fuentes
Image
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I eat egg whites a lot. Aside from that, I eat everything. I try to avoid too much oily food, but I do eat carbs. I have to have a balanced diet.
Genelia D'Souza

Anyone who has kids knows that children like to be around chickens, goats, whatever. My kid loves to go out and feed the chickens and collect the eggs. It's a nice way of living.
Novella Carpenter
Image
The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved the pig is committed.
Martina Navratilova
Image
My career is pretty much over. I'm out in the Valley eating soft-boiled eggs.
Tim Conway

For me - showing a half-finished manuscript is tricky. Just as a bird will get spooked and abandon her eggs if some outside party comes around and makes too much noise or pokes around the nest too intrusively - well, that's what it's like for me if I show work too early and I get a lot of editorial suggestions at the wrong time.
Donna Tartt
Image
I was a smoker for years. Occasionally I slip and have a cigarette. Remarkably, my voice has held up. I'm grateful, obviously. But I don't gargle with honey and ground-up bird eggs. I have no secrets.
Loudon Wainwright III
Image
I like my cinema gritty, I like my eggs gritty.
David Letterman
Image
When you consider the many ways in which people have to make a living every day when they wake up, I figure that eating 20 eggs isn't that bad.
