Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, this is an acknowledgement that the creators of meaning live according to two orders of meaning construed of experience: not just the material order ('bread'), but also the projected semiotic order ('word').
