“He receives comfort like cold porridge.”
William Shakespeare
“the perfect chair to sit in or porridge to taste.”
Chris Hedges
“She was perfectly quiet now, but not asleep--only soothed by sweet porridge and warmth into that wide-gazing calm which makes us older human beings, with our inward turmoil, feel a certain awe in the presence of a little child, such as we feel before some quiet majesty or beauty in the earth or sky--before a steady glowing planet, or a full-flowered eglantine, or the bending trees over a silent pathway.”
George Eliot
“because they ate mom's oatmeal porridge.”
Dick Pound
“I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.”
Anjelica Huston
“Who fished the murex up? / What porridge had John Keats?”
Robert Browning
“I would say Porridge is one of the greatest British sitcoms ever made. It dictated the way we see prison.”
