On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.

You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, 'You know what? I'm giving up, I don't care.' And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.

Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!
