Shelley Bovey (British feminist)

 

Outside every fat man there was an even fatter man trying to close in.

I don't weigh a pound over one hundred and eighty, and what's more, I never did.

 

Fatty Arbuckle (1887-1933, American actor, director, producer)

 

The obese is in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.

 

Jean Baudrillard (French postmodern philosopher, writer)

 

I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.

 

Marlon Brando (1924-, American actor, director)

Thin people are beautiful, but fat people are adorable.

 

Jackie Gleason (1916-1987, American actor)

 

Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No -- no,  your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.

Fat is a social disease, and fat is a feminist issue.

 

Susie Orbach

 

Fat is a way of saying "no" to powerlessness and self-denial.

 

Susie Orbach

 

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.

 

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970, British philosopher, mathematician, essayist)

 

Let me have men about me that are fat, sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights. Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.

 

William Shakespeare (1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)

 

Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.

 

William Shakespeare (1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)

 

Obesity is a condition which proves that the Lord does not help those who help themselves and help themselves and help themselves.

 

Author Unknown
