And so the liberal tendency became a habit with Stepan Arkadyich, and he liked his newspaper, as he liked a cigar after dinner, for the slight haze it produced in his head.
Man tries to swallow meaning whole as a dog would eat his dinner.
After the satyrs filed in to dinner, the Hermes cabin brought up the rear. They were always the biggest cabin. Last summer it had been led by Luke, the guy who fought with Thalia and Annabeth on top of Half-Blood Hill. For a while, before Poseidon had claimed me, I'd lodged in the Hermes cabin. Luke had befriended me. . . and then he'd tried to kill me.
After-dinner talk Across the walnuts and the wine.
Since I have an aversion to movies in which people say grace at the dinner table (not to the practice but to how movies use it to establish the moral strength of a household), the opening night montage of Sunday-night supper in one home after another in Waxahachie, Texas in 1935 a whole community saying grace made me expect the worst.

Romance? What is romance? Is it when I give you flowers? When I give you a gorgeous dinner? Or is it when I simply say, I love you.

Dinner was ready. Professor Lidenbrock did full justice to it, for his compulsory fast on board had turned his stomach into an unfathomable gulf.
As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
In the end, like so many beautiful promises in our lives, that dinner date never came to be.
The lion cares less about being king of the beasts than about finding his dinner.
This last year. . . I learned something about family. Like it's not about blood alone. It's being connected. . . it's growing up together and loving each other. It's believing in the same God and knowing you'd do anything for the person across from you at dinner.
If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her. . . . I like her.
O hour, of all hours, the most blesse'd upon earth, The bless'd hour of our dinners!
So munch on, crunch on, take your nuncheon, Breakfast, supper, dinner, luncheon!
I go from a full working day to making sure I am home for dinner with my kids. I couldn't do that in a 10cm mini skirt but I am not going to resort to sweatpants and an old t-shirt.
