Anthony BOURDAIN: A Tribute of QUOTES::::::::
“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you."
“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
“Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom...is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go."
“Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don't have.”
“That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.”
I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill."
"I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one."
“Luck is not a business model.”
“Like I said before, your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
"“I have long believed that it is only right and appropriate that before one sleeps with someone, one should be able—if called upon to do so—to make them a proper omelet in the morning."
“And chicken is boring. Chefs see it as a menu item for people who don't know what they want to eat.”
