Anthony Bourdain Quotes

As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small.

Across the ocean, or simply across the river.""You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.""Maybe that's enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.""I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.""Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life.""Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund."
