In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision.

Italo Calvino, Italian Journalist (1923-1985)

Not addicted to gluttony or drunkenness, this people who incur no expense in food or dress, and whose minds are always bent upon the defence of their country, and on the means of plunder, are wholly employed in the care of their horses and furniture.

Giraldus Cambrensis, Welsh Clergyman

Our fear of hypocrisy is forcing us to live in a world where gluttons are fine, so long as they champion gluttony.

Jonah Goldberg, American Celebrity (1969- )

Lydia Lunch, American Musician (1959- )

The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.

Dave Mustaine, American Musician (1961- )

Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.

Peter De Vries, American Novelist (1910-1993)

Gluttony is not a secret vice.
