Milk Quotes

“SPIT ALL OVER SOMEONE WITH A MOUTHFUL OF MILK IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR PERSONALITY FAST.”
― Jenny Holzer

“Grandma Baker shook her head. “More lies. What’s wrong with milk? Milk is healthy and great for your bones.”
“Yes, raw cow’s milk is very healthy. It’s been drunk for centuries the world over because of its health benefits. That’s exactly why we had to poison it. Like the idiotic fluoride lie about cavities, we informed the public that raw milk contains harmful bacteria and needs to be pasteurized and homogenized to ensure people’s health. After milk is pasteurized and homogenized, it’s not only not healthy anymore, it’s very unhealthy and has the same rap sheet as the other culprits we’ve talked about.”
Mrs. Baker shook her head. “Again with the lies. There’s evidence that shows unpasteurized milk may contain bacteria and pathogens that could make people ill. That’s why it’s pasteurized.”
“You’re not wrong there, just misinformed on how to correctly fix the problem. Milk being unpasteurized wasn’t the problem, like I said, people safely drank raw milk for centuries. Livestock being subjected to unsanitary and poor hygiene practices in the modern age was the reason milk started containing bacteria and pathogens. To correct this, you fix the livestock issue, the source of the problem. You don’t put healthy raw milk through a process that eliminates possible pathogens by pasteurizing and homogenizing it so it becomes unhealthy and slowly kills you over time. That’s obviously not an intelligent move.” Karver laughed. “But again, thank you for illustrating how effective the great design is at keeping humans weak and brainwashed. The only reason I’m telling you all this is because I’m going to kill you anyway. I’m merely letting you know how stupid you and your species are before I do you in.”
― Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

“The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.”
― Michael Klaper

“I am the kid who sticks her finger in the light socket. I am the person who doesn't check the expiration date on the milk. I am the idiot who has never looked before she leaped. I am the girl who is falling apart, right now.”
― Amy Garvey, Cold Kiss

“Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.”

― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“When the young woman
leans over the sky,
about to water the flowers as well as the weeds,
her white front splits open
until her milk runs.”
― Gunter Grass

― Arthur Rimbaud

“The distinction between meat and other animal products is total nonsense. Vegetarianism is a morally incoherent position. If you regard animals as members of the moral community, you really don’t have a choice but to go vegan.”
― GaryLFrancione

“So it happened at last: I was about to become a thief, a cheap milk-stealer. Here was your lash-in-the-pen genius, your one story-writer: a thief.”
― John Fante, Ask the Dust

“Thou askest me to take things seriously? After what thou didst last night? When thou needest to kill a man and instead did what you did? You were supposed to kill one, not make one! When we have just seen the sky full of airplanes of a quantity to kill us back to our grandfathers and forward to all unborn grandsons including all cats, goats and bedbugs. Airplanes making a noise to curdle the milk in your mother's breasts as they pass over darkening the sky and roaring like lions and you ask me to take things seriously. I take them too seriously already.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“like a drop of ink in a glass of milk”
― Thrity Umrigar, The Space Between Us

“But raw milk from a Jersey cow is a totally different substance from what I'd thought of as milk. If you do not own a cow or know someone who owns a cow, I must caution you never to try raw milk straight from the teat of a Jersey cow, because it would be cruel to taste it once and not have access to it again. Only a few people in America remeber this type of milk now, elderly people mostly, who grew up with a cow. They come to the farm sometimes, looking for that taste from their childhood.”
― Kristin Kimball, The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love

“The white saucer like some full moon descends
At last from the clouds of the table above;
She sighs and dreams and thrills and glows,
Transfigured with love.

She nestles over the shining rim,
Buries her chin in the creamy sea;
Her tail hangs loose; each drowsy paw
Is doubled under each bending knee.

A long, dim ecstasy holds her life;
Her world is an infinite shapeless white,
Till her tongue has curled the last holy drop,
Then she sinks back into the night,

Draws and dips her body to heap
Her sleepy nerves in the great arm-chair,
Lies defeated and buried deep
Three or four hours unconscious there.”
― Harold Monro, Collected poems;

“Who drinks a decaf cappuccino? Be honest with yourself and get a cup of warm milk.”
― Colin Walsh, Kala

“Milk was originally blood. In that case, was the butter in the Babaji story actually a metaphor for all the carnage that took place under the cover of the jungle? What seemed pure, white and creamy had its origins in vivid, bloody red--- was that not the essence of the whole case?”
― Asako Yuzuki, Butter

“Research was indicating that longevity was seen in people that regularly consumed sour milk.”
― Steven Magee, Toxic Altitude

“Ooh! The firm, moist texture and flavor of the yuba...
... suits the gratin's white sauce made with lots of milk and butter!"
"Yuba, a traditional Japanese food...
...perfectly matches the sauce in the gratin, which is a Western dish!"
"I made the white sauce with flour, butter and milk...
... and added chopped onions, sliced mushrooms and yuba cut into bite-sized pieces.
I brought the white sauce to a boil after seasoning it with salt and pepper. Then I placed that inside a gratin dish, covered it with grated cheese and baked it in the oven until it turned golden brown."
"Wow. I don't believe it."
"I never thought yuba and white sauce would taste good together. But come to think of it, yuba is basically soy protein."
"It has a rich yet simple taste...
...so I guess it goes well with any kind of dish."
"I know I'm contradicting myself...
...but this is light and heavy at the same time!
Yuba is made from soy milk, and white sauce is made from regular milk. Both beverages are very good for the human body. So it's no surprise that they come together to make such a delicious flavor in yuba gratin.”
― Tetsu Kariya, Izakaya: Pub Food

“Every raw-milk cheese is an artifact of the land; it carries the imprint of the earth from which it came. A cheese—even a fresh chèvre—is never just a thing to put in your mouth. It’s a living piece of geography. A sense of place.”
― Brad Kessler, Goat Song: A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese

“I get my calcium from milk, yogurt and cheese.”
― Steven Magee

“An infinitesimal fraction of the sun’s energy is responsible for all the abundance of our planet. A good thing we can’t see the torrent of waste, the enormity of what’s lost. Imagine pouring a jug of milk down the drain. The droplets of leftover milk in the sink? That’s what we live off.”
― Ethan Chatagnier, Singer Distance

“A whole generation of Australians may well agree that abolition of school milk was one of the finer achievements of the Whitlam government, up there with free university education and ending conscription.”
― Jan O'Connell, A Timeline of Australian Food: From Mutton to Masterchef

“The best cheeses taste like poop!”
― Steven Magee

but men are core like whisky.”

“(at the police station pantry) There’s a large tub of instant coffee on top of a humming fridge, plus a microwave that doesn’t look as if it’s been cleaned since the millennium bug was a thing. A page of A4 has been taped to the fridge with, STOP STEALING MY MILK, YA THIEVING SHITES written in large capital letters. Zoe asks if I want a tea, then sets a kettle boiling as we sit around a small table.

Zoe nods along as the kettle clicks off. She raids the cupboard for a pair of teabags from a giant PG Tips box, then drops one in each of two mugs, before filling. Milk comes from the fridge, although it’s unclear if this is of the ‘thieving shites’ variety, and then Zoe sits across from me.”
