"My daughter always behaved in restaurants. And..." - Quote by Anthony Bourdain

“The older I get, and the more I travel in particular, the less I care about what exactly is in the dish than who's cooking it and why.”

“I'm excited by any food that's prepared by someone who's proud of what they're doing, who puts a personal imprint on food.”

“Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria's mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head? I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.”

“The childless escape much misery.”

“I know I want to have children while my parents are still young enough to take care of them.”

“Slowly he took out the clothes in which, ten years beforem Cosette had left Montfermeil; first the little dress, then the black scarf, then the great heavy child's shoes Cosette could still almost have worn, so small was her foot, then the vest of very thich fustian, then the knitted petticoat, the the apron with pockets, then the wool stockings.... Then his venerable white head fell on the bed, this old stoical heart broke, his face was swallowed up, so to speak, in Cosette's clothes, and anybody who had passed along the staircase at that moment would have heard irrepressible sobbing.”

“Your kids grow up. I think they more than anything are making me feel as if, you know, you want to squeeze everything you got every single day out of this thing. Because it passes quick.”

“I love little children too but I don't cut off their heads and stick them in vases.”

“Children are all foreigners.”
