“Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.”
Victor Hugo“Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables“I have a head for business and a body for sin. Unfortunately, the sin appears to be gluttony.”
Jenny Colgan, Meet Me at the Cupcake Café“If we are defined by reason and morality, then reason and morality must define our choices, even when animals are concerned. When people say, for example, that they like their veal or hot dogs too much to ever give them up, and yeah it's sad about the farms but that's just the way it is, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony. We can say that what makes a human being human is precisely the ability to understand that the suffering of an animal is more important than the taste of a treat.”
Matthew Scully, Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy“To be blessed and yet permit gluttony to blind me to the blessings is to banish myself to a life of unrelenting poverty even though I might be utterly engulfed in the embrace of a million marvelous blessings.”

Dallas Jr.“Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon.”
