“your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Anthony Bourdain
“We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts.”
Anthony Bourdain, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook

“Nothing is too ugly for this world, I think. It’s just that people pretend not to see.”

“It’s easy to tell the dirtiest minds—look for the cleanest fingernails.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen

Michael Pollan
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
