Book cover for Court of Lions
“Sometimes it takes strength to choose the path of weakness,” the woman said cryptically. “Sometimes surrender is more courageous than resistance. But it’s hard for people to see that.”

Michael Pollan
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Terese Marie Mailhot
“Nothing is too ugly for this world, I think. It’s just that people pretend not to see.”
Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries

Ottessa Moshfegh
“It’s easy to tell the dirtiest minds—look for the cleanest fingernails.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen

Anthony Bourdain
“We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts.”
Anthony Bourdain, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook
