“Good time management is not about buying a great calendar or planner. It is not about learning tricks to move faster, or about doing everything with mechanical efficiency. It's about creating days that are meaningful and rewarding to you, and feeling a sense of satisfaction in each and every one of your tasks.”

“Do the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time. No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom.”

“Cooking is not about convenience and it's not about shortcuts. Our hunger for the twenty-minute gourmet meal, for one-pot ease and prewashed, precut ingredients has severed our lifeline to the satisfactions of cooking. Take your time. Take a long time. Move slowly and deliberately and with great attention.”

“today is a good day to give no one a hard time about anything, or today is a good day to give everyone a hard time about everything.”

“Think about it. Every time you fail at a task you've actually learned something new. The question is "what?”

“If someone hurt you, abandoned you, betrayed you..it says nothing about your meaningfulness but everything about their character.”
