====== Antisthenes of Athens | Athenaeus, Book IV.157.b-c ======


<blockquote>Or have you read only that work of his which contains the comparison of pease-porridge with lentil soup? For I see that the quantity of lentil-soup prepared at your dinner is great, and as I gaze upon it I should advise you, in the words of the Socratic **Antisthenes**, to 'deliver yourselves from life,' if you must feed on such stuff."
