"Open your mind, get up off the..." - Quote by Anthony Bourdain

“I didn't want food that looked unapproachable or ridiculously beautiful.”

“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans ... are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit.”

“There are very sophisticated, very time-consuming dishes to prepare; always from scratch, and always in excess of what you could possibly need. You tend to kill your guests with kindness around here.”

“If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.”

“Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.”

“Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act.”

“There's no point in getting into politics at all unless you plan to lash things around.”

“I went back into politics only when it was clear that things weren't going as they should have in my party. I was always arguing, I argued with everyone - with my father, with the leaders I had known since I was a child...and one day, it was in 1955, one of them exclaimed, 'You do nothing but criticize! If you think you can correct things, correct them. Go ahead, why don't you try?' Well, I could never resist a challenge, so I tried.”
