10 QUOTES WITH «BELLIES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word bellies.
1
Diane Ackerman
For better or worse, zoos are how most people come to know big or exotic animals. Few will ever see wild penguins sledding downhill to sea on their bellies, giant pandas holding bamboo lollipops in China or tree porcupines in the Canadian Rockies, balled up like giant pine cones.
2
Lorraine Bracco
The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies.
3
Martin H. Fischer
I find that most men would rather have their bellies opened for five hundred dollars than have a tooth pulled for five.
4
Fred W. Friendly
Television was supposed to be a national park. Instead it has become a money machine. It's a commodity now, just like pork bellies.
5
Jay Garner
We ought to be beating our chests every day. We ought to look in the mirror, stick out our chests, suck in our bellies, and say, 'Damn, we're Americans,' and smile.
6
Dick Gregory
I went to Ethiopia, and it dawned on me that you can tell a starving, malnourished person because they've got a bloated belly and a bald head. And I realized that if you come through any American airport and see businessmen running through with bloated bellies and bald heads, that's malnutrition, too.
7
Xi Jinping
Some foreigners with full bellies and nothing better to do engage in finger-pointing at us. First, China does not export revolution; second, it does not export famine and poverty; and third, it does not mess around with you. So what else is there to say?
8
George Jones
I was born in Saratoga, Texas, a little town there in the Big Thicket about 60 miles north of Beaumont. Needless to say, we were very, very poor, but we always managed to have enough to keep our bellies full.
9
Gwen Moore
I just want to tell you what it's like not to have Planned Parenthood... you have to give your kids Ramen noodles at the end of the month to fill up their little bellies so they won't cry. You have to give them mayonnaise sandwiches. They get very few fruits and vegetables because they're expensive.
10
David Perlmutter
This low-fat idea that's been drummed into our heads and bellies is completely off-base and deeply responsible for most of our modern ills.
