Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
'Dark as night, scorching as fire, immaculate as a saint, delightful as affection.'
2.
Take it all back. Life is boring, except for flowers, sunshine, your perfect legs. A glass of cold water when you are really thirsty. The way bodies fit together. Fresh and young and sweet. Coffee in the morning. These are just moments. I struggle with the in-betweens. I just want to never stop loving like there is nothing else to do, because what else is there to do?
Pablo Neruda
3.
As soon as I go into a Starbucks I take off my sunglasses. I want to be recognised and I want free coffee.
Gerard Way
As soon as I walk into a Starbucks I remove my shades. I desire to be acknowledged and I desire complimentary coffee.

And you became like coffee,
in the deliciousness,
and the bitterness,
and the addiction.
Mahmoud Darwish
You became like a drug,
in the savor,
and the acrimony,
and the compulsion.

Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Without my morning coffee I'm as lifeless as a shriveled mutton.

I have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace. They are medicine, and I would eventually die a lingering death. I had rather die on the field of battle. Look at me, see if I am poor, or my people either. The whites may get me at last, as you say, but I will have good times till then. You are fools to make yourselves slaves to a piece of fat bacon, some hard-tack, and a little sugar and coffee.
Sitting Bull

I like cappuccino, actually. But even a bad cup of coffee is better than no coffee at all.
David Lynch
I prefer cappuccino, truth be told. Nevertheless, even a mediocre cup of joe is preferable to having no coffee whatsoever.
8.
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
'Should I end it all, or make myself a cup of joe?'

Hitler used to come to my house once in a while for a cup of coffee, and because I led a normal life, he would leave at about 9 p.m. ... However, Hitler used to spend practically all of his nights, sometimes until four a.m., with Goebbels. ... God knows what evil influence Goebbels had on him during those long visits.
Hermann Goring

Life's too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don't care.
Matthew Healy
Life's too short to consume subpar coffee and lament over men who are unconcerned.

The quintessential expression of coffee is espresso.
Ernesto Illy
The archetypal embodiment of coffee is espresso.
12.
I will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me, and I will remember your small room the feel of you the light in the window your records your books our morning coffee our noons our nights our bodies spilled together sleeping the tiny flowing currents immediate and forever your leg my leg your arm my arm your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.
Charles Bukowski
13.
The voodoo priest and all his powders were as nothing compared to espresso, cappuccino, and mocha, which are stronger than all the religions of the world combined, and perhaps stronger than the human soul itself.
Mark Helprin
14.
I never laugh until I've had my coffee.
Clark Gable

Without coffee something’s missing
Al Pacino

The smell of coffee cooking was a reason for growing up, because children were never allowed to have it and nothing haunted the nostrils all the way out to the barn as did the aroma of boiling coffee.
Edna Lewis
17.
Imma go to Starbucks in the morning for some coffee, if it ain't no girls there i won't buy no damn coffee!
Lil B
19.
How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.
Virginia Woolf
20.
My strength returns to me with my cup of coffee and the reading of the psalms.
Dorothy Day
21.
I'm good at loving books. I'm good at loving soft bed sheets. I'm good at loving coffees and teas. I am good at loving things that can't love me back, that don't have the power to leave. And maybe, that's why I love them.
Andrea Gibson
22.
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
Carly Simon

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.
Steven Wright
24.
Too much coffee. Too much coffee and Gatorade. It's a hell of a mix. If you're ever tired in the morning, just try that mix, and tell me what you think.
Kevin Garnett
25.
Eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling.
Dave Barry
26.
In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it.
Saul Leiter
27.
It’s just like when you’ve got some coffee that’s too black, which means it’s too strong. What you do? You integrate it with cream; you make it weak. If you pour too much cream in, you won’t even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it’ll put you to sleep.
Malcolm X
28.
There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
Germaine Greer

A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.
Paul Erdos
31.
Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that's karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there's karma all over again.
Deepak Chopra
32.
Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine!
Johann Sebastian Bach
33.
If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning.
Mae West
34.
You're a religious man, ... You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Another will say, 'I built houses.' But I will say, 'I didn't forget you.'
Simon Wiesenthal
35.
There is no fountain of youth, What you put into your body is what you get out of it. You would not feed your dog a coffee and doughnut for breakfast followed by a cigarette. You will kill the damn dog.
Jack LaLanne
36.
Sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords.
Richard Brautigan
37.
Coffee is real good when you drink it gives you time to think. It's a lot more than just a drink; it's something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.
Gertrude Stein

Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.
Steve Earle
39.
To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.
Hugh Jackman

So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda.
John Steinbeck
42.
I've met Bob Dylan's bodyguards, and if Steve Earle thinks he can stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table, he's sadly mistaken.
Townes Van Zandt
43.
I like coffee because it gives me the illusion that I might be awake.
Lewis Black
44.
It has been shown as proof positive that carefully prepared chocolate is as healthful a food as it is pleasant; that it is nourishing and easily digested... that it is above all helpful to people who must do a great deal of mental work.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
46.
Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives... and to the "good life", whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.
Hunter S. Thompson
48.
Many people claim coffee inspires them,
but,
as everybody knows,
coffee only makes boring people even more boring.
Honore de Balzac

The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.
John D. Rockefeller

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.
Lana Del Rey
