Anthony Bourdain
“Having a sous-chef with excellent cooking skills and a criminal mind is one of God's great gifts.”
Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Jim Gaffigan
“I think everyone is aware how disgusting snails are, and that’s why they are served in a bowl of wine and butter and called “escargots,” which is a French word loosely translated as “denial.”
Jim Gaffigan, Food: A Love Story

Max Hastings
“Here was a manifestation of a huge, historic British folly, repeated over many centuries including the twenty-first: the adoption of gesture strategy, committing small forces as an earnest of good intentions, heedless of their gross inadequacy for the military purpose at hand.”
Max Hastings, Catastrophe 1914: Europe Goes to War

Umberto Eco
“— Qu'est-ce qui vous effraie le plus dans la pureté?
— La hâte.”
Umberto Eco

Paul M. Barrett
“One of the largest problems in getting a new design accepted by an established manufacturer is not just the ‘not invented here’ syndrome, but also the ‘we don’t have the tooling’ syndrome. Why invent something new when you can simply modify what you have?”
Paul M. Barrett, Glock: The Rise Of America's Gun
