“The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in - telephonic, telepathic, technological and relational to alter even the slightest bit of behaviour in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardedness of primitive peoples and their physical work. This is particularly true of unnecessary mental complexities. One should always prefer pure physical effort and, for preference, keep mental energy for sensual pleasures alone. The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.”

“Nothing speaks more accurately to the complexity of life than food. Who has not had, let us say, a béarnaise, the child of hollandaise, and has not come away from the taste of it feeling overwhelmed? At first, it fills the mouth with the softness of butter and then the richness of egg, and before it becomes too rich or too comfortable, the moment shifts and begins to ground itself in darkness with the root of a shallot and the hint of crushed peppercorn. But then, the taste deepens. The memory of rebirth is made manifest with the sacred chervil, sweet and grassy with a note of licorice, whose spring scent is so like myrrh that it recalls the gift of the Wise Men and the holy birth whenever it is tasted. And then, of course, the "King of Herbs," tarragon with its gentle licorice, reminds us not to forget that miracles are possible. And just when we think we understand what we are experiencing, the taste turns again on the tongue, and finishes with shrill vinegar followed by a reduction of wine so that the acid tempers the sauce but never dominates.”

“Galimas daiktas, kad mano gyvenimas priklauso nuo vieno iš šių žmonių, kurie čia slenka pro mano akis; galimas daiktas, kad štai prie mano durų yra žmogus, kurio aš laukiu, arba žmogus, kuris manęs laukia. Bet daug žmonių yra prie mano durų. Jeigu ten yra ir tas, apie kurį kalbu, kaip jį pažint?" Privatinis žmonių gyvenimas, viešas tautų gyvenimas, slaptas nujautimas, literatūra, romanas, istorija, praeities atsiminimai, dabarties reikalai, ateities laukimas - visa sako žmogui, kad jam gali prireikti spėti, o gerai spėti taisyklių nėra. Štai kur kyla sfinksas.”
