When I was at primary school, we had this theory that if you ate an egg, it meant you’d get pregnant and give birth to a chicken or another egg. It was something we dared together. I avoided eggs for years, but now they’re my favourite food.
The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.
I have a few customers who have two or three hundred bags. When you see a lady carrying a little dog bag or a little cat bag or an egg, it makes you happy.
My first car was a Buick Skyhawk from, like, ’78, I think. I ran that thing into the gutter. It was shaped like an egg; it was cool.
I get into a zone, so if I start my day healthy, I’m going to eat clean all day. But if I start my day with an egg sandwich, you can bet I’m gonna mess it all up.
A potential person is not a person, any more than an acorn is an oak tree. I don’t think women should have to give birth just because a sperm met an egg.

A Royal Commission is a broody hen sitting on a china egg.
I used to help my dad with a stall selling eggs when I was about 12. People were so hard up they would ask for one egg. But mostly no one came by at all. It was very demoralising.
My whole life, I heard, ‘Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg.’ It’s all I heard throughout elementary school.
From my earliest memories, my aunt was squirting out oil paint. I could just eat it. I would go from her studio and walk down to my father’s house, and there he was, working in egg tempera.
I don’t believe the fertilised egg can be equated with the sort of human life that you and I represent, or our children represent.

The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever will be born must destroy a world.

I always run in the morning on an empty stomach, and I’ll go through a bottle and a half of water. Then I have a protein drink or I eat egg whites.
I don’t know what the creative process is. I don’t know how to trick it into starting or how to egg it on.
Once you’re retired and are no longer counting on earned income to live on and supplement your nest egg, you’re done with disability insurance. At that point, though, the need for long-term care insurance – which protects you from spending that nest egg too fast – takes over.
Every time I found an egg to eat, or when I survived a storm in which trees were collapsing all around me, I felt that it was Providence. I don’t need to believe – I know.

When you’re poor, an egg sandwich is dinner and you cut your potatoes with a butter knife.
A few weeks after my mom passed in November of 2013, I came back from an injury and entered the Egg Bowl in the second half against Ole Miss. I’ll never forget the feeling when I walked back out on the field. As I walked into the Egg Bowl, the crowd stood up and clapped like they were enveloping me in a giant hug.
I had to go on the strict caveman diet where you eat only vegetables, chicken, and egg whites. This diet in many ways sounds right to me, and it has worked wonderfully.
I’m not an egg whites guy. I can’t deal with egg whites. I need the flavor of the yolk, and I like the fat of it as well.
It’s weird, because everywhere I go, people yell, ‘Grasshopper!’ or ‘Bill!’ but down there in Mexico or Colombia or anywhere in South America or most of Europe, people will yell, ‘Serpent’s Egg!’ And I’ll go, ‘Wow, man, these people are really hip.’
Usually, I’ll have egg whites, turkey sausage, fruit, and oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch I’ll have some grilled chicken or a turkey burger with veggies, fruit and wheat bread. Between lunch and dinner it’s often a protein bar, and then my evening meal is pretty much the same as lunch.
I don’t have any blindness when it comes to my money. As an actor, you can get distracted by your work. I do keep an eye on my nest egg, if you will.
The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.
If you help a chicken out of an egg, most of the time that bird will die. If you help a moth out of a cocoon, it’ll die because they don’t go through that struggle and maturation. I can give you a fish for the day and you’ll eat a day, but if I teach you to fish, you’ll eat for a lifetime. Maybe even start a business.
We’re proud Yorkshiremen: we grew up fell running, and we still do it whenever we can. I did my first fell race when I was 11. It was a Tuesday night race called the Bunny Run, on a windswept moor above Haworth, and the prize was a chocolate egg.
I always have hard-boiled eggs with me to eat egg whites for protein. Even when I travel, I bring eggs with me so I don’t eat the plane food. Yes, I’m the person you do not want to sit next to with hard-boiled eggs.
I don’t respond well to time pressure – when you’re in the studio, with the clock ticking, and the record company’s waiting for you to lay a golden egg. Wherever it is my music comes from, it just doesn’t show up when the pressure is on.
On days that I go gymming my consumption of egg whites and chicken stew goes up.
My idea of baking is buying a ready-make cake mix and throwing in an egg.
Hard-boiled eggs are wonderful when they’re really done right. I bring the water to a boil, and then I put in the eggs. And then I boil them for – well, it depends on the size of the egg – maybe eight minutes.
Whites cook at a lower temperature, set at a lower temperature than yolks. That, to me, is very interesting. That has opened up – as an egg lover, that has opened up sort of a world of possibilities, of applications.
Before I was married, I had never washed one dish or seen how you fried an egg or baking a potato.
I’ve been learning how to soft-scramble eggs. And once you’ve had an amazing soft-scrambled egg, you cannot go back. It takes a little bit more work, but they’re really great.
My fantasy breakfast is just a really good egg scramble. Maybe I’ll add a little feta, so, uh, obviously not totally dairy-free. Definitely some vegetables, maybe some really nice tortillas; something to make it like a Mexican-style breakfast. I just really love breakfast.
I just went to the hobby shop and got an electricity kit and a chemistry kit, and I’m really excited to do experiments like squeezing an egg into a bottle and growing crystals. I’m really getting into hobbies.
My brother and I loved ‘ThunderCats’ and Robin Williams coming out of an egg in ‘Mork & Mindy.’ At the time, I thought it was funny, but looking back, it was a crazy concept!
I can make a couple of good sandwiches: tuna salad and chopped egg salad. And Greek bean soup. I was a cook for my old Zen master for many years. So there were two or three dishes that he liked, you know. Teriyaki salmon, a few things.
You know how you toilet paper and egg somebody’s house? I did it, right? But I did it back-to-back nights, Saturday and Sunday. They called the police. Good thing nobody got arrested but that was something embarrassing and stupid. Why would you do the same house twice? It was ridiculous.
It struck me what we should be trying to do was pluck the egg from the ovary and fertilise it in the laboratory. We could do this in animals increasingly… this was the way to go in the human species.
My first meal when I wake up is five boiled eggs, egg whites, and a slice of whole wheat bread.
The argument about zoning and the presidency of Nigeria is like the philosophical argument of the egg or the hen. Who is older through the evolutionary process, who came first?
Start with the basics: make pancakes, boil an egg, make toast. Get the kids used to getting a bit of toast and understanding it’s hot.
The most Korean thing you can eat that’s so easy is Shin Ramyun with an egg cracked into it and kimchi on the side. I feel like every Korean person eats that at nighttime or for a snack.
I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.
