“If you can visualize the food on the plate before you start cooking, it means, inevitably, that you can be more precise with portions: how often have you prepared a roast dinner intended for six but ended up creating enough food for a dozen? Picture it on the plate first, and you’ll not only get a better meal but save on waste as well—though do take into consideration the people who’ll want second helpings.”
Marco Pierre White, The Devil in the Kitchen: Sex, Pain, Madness, and the Making of a Great Chef

Zeno of Citium
“When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled and follows, making its spontaneous act coincide with necessity. But if the dog does not follow, it will be compelled in any case. So it is with men too: even if they don't want to, they will be compelled to follow what is destined.”
Zeno of Citium

“By pleasing her whims, I lost track of mine. A servant you’ll be, a friend she’ll see.”

“Actively self-reflecting on the approaches that you are taking fosters a strategic stance that is really important in life. Strategic thinking distinguishes between people of comparable ability and effort. This can make the difference between people who achieve and people who have the potential to achieve, but don’t.”
Patricia Chen.

“Jersy Neyman conceived the role of statistics as providing direct guidance about an optimal decision.”
Herbert I. Weisberg, Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty
