"Eating and sleeping are the only activities..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Start it at no particular time of your life; wander at your free will all over your life; talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment; drop it the moment its interest threatens to pale.”

“It is a pity we can't escape from life when we are young.”

“You cant reach old age by another man's road, my habits protect my life but they would assassinate you”

“Plan for pleasure for each and every day.”

“When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire . . .”

“The greatest pleasure of life is love.”

“....that the mounds of ices, and the bowls of mint-julep and sherry cobbler they make in these latitudes, are refreshments never to be thought of afterwards, in summer, by those who would preserve contented minds.”

“Is it a good hot dog? That’s all I want to know … I don’t think the personal health and purity of my colon is that important compared to pleasure. As a chef, I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist. I’m in the pleasure business …. My responsibility is to give you the most delicious tomato that I can afford, given the circumstances, and maybe increase the likelihood that you get laid after dinner.”

“I treat my heart like a sick child and gratify its every fancy”
