Quotations regarding 'Hunger'

Choose a letter: 
The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.
Joseph Addison, English Writer (1672-1719)
Proletarian language is dictated by hunger. The poor chew words to fill their bellies.
Theodor Adorno, German Philosopher (1903-1969)
The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.
Sholom Aleichem, Russian Writer (1859-1916)
Hunger knows no friend but its feeder.
Aristophanes, Greek Poet
At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back.
Darren Aronofsky, American Director (1969-  )
I've always thought of the project as a sort of sexually driven digestive system, that it was a consumer and a producer of matter. And it is desire driven, rather than driven by hunger or anything like that.
Matthew Barney, American Artist (1967-  )
There's a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there's no person I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going. I want to create my own road.
Drew Barrymore, Actress (1975-  )
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.
Saint Basil, Greek Saint
O, once in each man's life, at least, Good luck knocks at his door; And wit to seize the flitting guest Need never hunger more. But while the loitering idler waits Good luck beside his fire, The bold heart storms at fortune's gates, And conquers its desire.
Lewis J. Bates, -
Viewed narrowly, all life is universal hunger and an expression of energy associated with it.
Mary Ritter Beard, American Historian (1876-1958)
Hunger and sex still dominate the primitive mammalian side of human existence, but at the present time it looks as if humanity were within sight of their satisfaction. Permanent plenty, no longer a Utopian dream, awaits the arrival of permanent peace.
John Desmond Bernal, Irish Scientist (1901-1971)
By showing hunger, deprivation, starvation and brutality, as well as endurance and nobility, documentaries inform, prod our memories, even stir us to action. Such films do battle for our very soul.
Theodore Bikel, Austrian Actor (1924-  )
The forgotten world is made up primarily of the developing nations, where most of the people, comprising more than fifty percent of the total world population, live in poverty, with hunger as a constant companion and fear of famine a continual menace.
Norman Borlaug, American Scientist (1914-  )
One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.
Jeff Bridges, American Actor (1949-  )
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.
Les Brown, American Businessman
If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
Les Brown, American Businessman
The dual scourge of hunger and malnutrition will be truly vanquished not only when granaries are full, but also when people's basic health needs are met and women are given their rightful role in societies.
Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norwegian Politician (1939-  )
An important lever for sustained action in tackling poverty and reducing hunger is money.
Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norwegian Politician (1939-  )
Hunger makes a thief of any man.
Pearl S. Buck, American Novelist (1892-1973)
I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.
Augusten Burroughs, American Writer (1965-  )
