"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.

Gertrude Stein

Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright in Godot
"Of all the unchristian beverages that ever passed my lips, Turkish coffee is the worst. The cup is small, it is smeared with grounds; the coffee is black, thick, unsavory of smell, and execrable in taste. The bottom of the cup has a muddy sediment in it half an inch deep. This goes down your throat, and portions of it lodge by the way, and produce a tickling aggravation that keeps you barking and coughing for an hour."
Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad
"It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait.

Ernest Hemingway

Alfred Prufrock, Love Song
"Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?"

"Making coffee has become the great compromise of the decade. It's the only thing "real" men do that doesn't seem to threaten their masculinity. To women, it's on the same domestic entry level as putting the spring back into the toilet-tissue holder or taking a chicken out of the freezer to thaw."
Erma Bombeck

Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad
"Coffee in Brazil is always made fresh and, except at breakfast time, drunk jet black from demitasses first filled almost to the brim with the characteristic moist, soft coffee sugar of the country, which melts five times as fast as our hard granulated. For breakfast larger cups are used, and they're more than half filled with cream. This cafe con leite doesn't re-quire so much sugar as cafe preto-black coffee."
Bob Brown and Cora Rose, South American Cookbook (1939)
"For fifteen days I struggled to prove that no functions analogous to those I have since called Fuchsian functions could exist; I was then very ignorant. Every day I sat down at my work table where I spent an hour or two; I tried a great number of combinations and arrived at no result. One evening, contrary to my custom, I took black coffee; I could not go to sleep; ideas swarmed up in clouds; I sensed them clashing until, to put it so, a pair would hook together to form a stable combination. By morning I had established the existence of a class of Fuchsian functions, those derived from the hypergeometric series. I had only to write up the results which took me a few hours."
Henri Poincare, Science et Methode
"Coffee is the common man's gold, and like gold, it brings to every person the feeling of luxury and nobility."
Sheik-Abd-al-Kadir, In Praise of Coffee (1587)
"In most households a cup of coffee is considered the one thing needful at the breakfast hour. But how often this exhilarating beverage, that 'comforteth the brain and heateth and helpeth digestion' is made muddy and ill-flavoured! ... You may roast the berries 'to the queen's taste,' and grind them fresh every morning, and yet, if the golden liquid be not prepared in the most immaculate of coffee-pots, with each return of morning, a new disappointment awaits you."
Janet McKenzie Hill, Practical Cooking and Serving (1902)
"It was one of those mornings when a man could face the day only after warming himself with a mug of thick coffee beaded with steam, a good thick crust of bread, and a bowl of bean soup."
Richard Gehman, The Haphazard Gourmet (1966)
"Sugar is always served with coffee [in France], usually in large lumps, and it is not bad manners - though certainly informal and not to be done at a luncheon or dinner party - to dip the corner of a lump of sugar into the coffee and then eat it. To do so is to 'faire le canard.'"
Pamela Vandyke Price, Gourmet Traveller (1974)
"Persons drinking coffee, as a general rule, eat less, though coffee, and also tea, have little direct food value; but they retard the waste of the tissues, and so take the place of food."

Picayune Creole Cook Book (1909)
"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."
T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

The holy hush of ancient sacrifice"

"In a word, coffee is the drunkard's settle-brain, the fool's pastime, who admires it for being the production of Asia, and is ravished with delight when he hears the berries grow in the deserts of Arabia, but would not give a farthing for a hogshead of it, if it were to be had on Hampstead Heath or Banstead-Downs."

Henry Ward Beecher, In Eyes and Ears
"It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it be-comes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep."

By country
Turkish Coffee Quotes
The ritual of having a coffee and a smoke to relax and refresh isn't necessary for physical survival, but may be for mental survival:
"Coffee and tobacco," says a Turkish proverb, "are complete repose."
Dutch Coffee Quotes
Denmark isn't always the warmest place in the world, and with cold weather comes dry air. No wonder it ranks among the top 10 countries in the world for coffee consumption per capita:
"Coffee has two virtues," proclaims an old Dutch saying, "it is wet and warm."
A Dutch variation of the "I like my coffee like I like my women" joke:
"The most stunning thing you can do is to go to Riyadh [the capital of Saudi Arabia] and walk around the streets downtown," said Thomas Lippman. "After you have had lunch at McDonald's, coffee at Dunkin Donuts and shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue, one has to wonder if they actually hate Americans or not."
German Coffee Quotes
If there's one thing you can say about the Germans, it's that they don't like to go half-way in on something. This German proverb proves that in both love and coffee, they want it hot:
"Coffee and love," states a German proverb, "are best when they are hot."
Brazilian Coffee Quotes
There's irony in hindsight, and with Brazil being the largest producer and exporter of coffee in the world, it's no doubt a boon that supports the livelihood of a large portion of their population. National "misfortune" indeed:
"Coffee is our national misfortune," said a Brazilian coffee farmer in 1934.
Italian Coffee Quotes
While not true in all regards (coffee isn't grown in Italy), the passion of Italians when it comes to espresso is unrivalled in other countries and industries:
"Espresso is to Italy," a gourmet coffee lover once said, "what champagne is to France."
Jamaican Coffee Quotes
There's wisdom in some of the simplest things, like accepting something once it's done. It takes some serious love of coffee to use it as a frame of reference for life.
"You can't take the milk," so goes a Jamaican proverb, "back from the coffee."
Viennese Coffee Quotes
Ever had a cup of coffee so good that makes all others seem bland by comparison? How about one so good that it tarnishes your perception of all others? The unnamed author here found that cup in Vienna.
"The best specialty coffee in Europe is Vienna coffee," someone once said, "compared to which all other coffee is fluid poverty."
Colombian Coffee Quotes
Coffee has an almost magical power to wake us up in the morning, but that doesn't mean that it will make you productive and happy:
"All of the premium coffee in Colombia," someone once said, "won't make me a morning person."
Irish Coffee Quotes
"Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups," said Alex Levine, adding "alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat."
True.
Wait a minute, those aren't the food groups...
Arabic Coffee Quotes
In some coffee-growing countries, the two are so closely reliant on each other that priorities have to be explicitly set:
"O Coffee, thou dost dispel all care," said a 1511 Arabic poem adding, "thou art the object of desire to the scholar."
Coffee is great for all occasions. How much coffee on the other hand, is another story:
"The first cup is for the guest," says an old Arabic saying about coffee, adding "the second for enjoyment, the third for the sword."
American Coffee Quotes
The nightlife in New Orleans naturally lends itself to drinking coffee, so much so that they even have their own "New Orleans" style coffee:
"The city of New Orleans with its famous coffee and beignets, Jazz Music and beautiful architecture," said Bill Burke, "will be back like never before."
Coffee arguably powers the go-go-go hustle of America, and woe be anybody who gets in their way:
"An American will go to hell," says a United States proverb, "for a cup of coffee."
Chinese Coffee Quotes
It's a bold statement for a CEO to claim they've changed the culture in a country, but Starbucks may well have been able to do it:
"China traditionally has been a tea-drinking country, but we turned them into coffee drinkers."
Howard Schultz
Nicaragua Coffee Quotes
"We prefer the loss of the coffee," said Nicaraguan politician Jaime Wheelock, "to the loss of the country."
Maybe the human race hasn't changed so much in 500 years...
"I'll drink Juan Valdez's coffee," said Gary Gollehon, "but I don't want to ride his burro."
While arguably the most successful coffee brand in the world, Juan Valdez's donkey is still a source of distraction.
"A cup of coffee," says a Turkish Proverb, "commits one to forty years of friendship."
We've all had those bonds that sprung up effortlessly over a cup of coffee - sometimes, you have to be careful who you share it with.
"Men should be like coffee," says a Dutch proverb, adding "hot, sweet, and strong."
British Coffee Quotes
Is it ironic or just sad that an American brand of coffee is popular near the birthplace of true coffee?
"Good coffee may come from Arabia or India, from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, or via France with an admixture of chicory," said British write Dame Agnes Graham Jekyll, "but its flavor and excellence will be derived from daily careful roasting and grinding, a truism universally admitted and habitually disregarded."
Sometimes, convenience wins over quality.
