"I don't eat friggin' lobster or anything like that. Because they're alive when you kill it."

"Leave me with my leftover meatloaf and my Yesterday Sandwich. I’ll be in love tomorrow, if you come back with the ketchup."

"Parla come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation: 'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman rood. Don't make a big production out of it. Just lay it on the table."

"If we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself."

"I like eating extra-virgin coconut oil. That’s like super non-fucked coconut oil."

"Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason."

"The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star."

"She asked for the time, and I said that information is for sale—by the slice. 60 slices in a whole pie."

"Wait. Why am I thinking about Krispy Kremes? We’re supposed to be exercising."

"If music be the food of love, play on."

"My love is pizza shaped. Won’t you have a slice? It’s circular, so there’s enough to go around."

"After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations."

"But the goal of the arts, culinary or otherwise, is not to increase our comfort. That is the goal of an easy chair."

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

"I'm all for all for one, especially when I'm the one. That's my philosophy when the dinner bill arrives at the table."

"I mean really, how could an artistic individual stay grounded in the nitty-gritty of how many minutes per pound meat has to stay in the oven when trying to fathom the creative philosophy behind the greatest artistic minds of the world?"

"I went to a potluck. I brought my own pot—and luck. The pot was empty, just like my promise to bring food the next time."

"Be sceptical, ask questions, demand proof. Demand evidence. Don't take anything for granted. But here's the thing: When you get proof, you need to accept the proof. And we're not that good at doing that."

"The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death."

"Unreturned love is like trying to make a sandwich with one slice of bread. Don’t stress—fold it in half and love yourself."
