Sadder than destitution, sadder than a beggar is the man who eats alone in public. Nothing more contradicts the laws of man or beast, for animals always do each other the honor of sharing or disputing each other s food. Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.

There's too much blood in my caffeine system. Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. But civilized man cannot live without cooks. It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
