I didn't believe in this luxurious and expensive system any more. Those bills at 400 euros, we don't need them anymore.

I left this shallot race. I wanted to make another style of restaurant. I didn't want the stars anymore, but I can't do anything. Michelin says they give stars to whomever they want.

I'm very happy and proud of my two stars. But that won't make me change my philosophy.

The soul is that which denies the body. For example, that which refuses to run when the body trembles, to strike when the body is angry, to drink when the body is thirsty. - Definitions, 1953.

One must be truthful with oneself about one's own motives, especially if one is to survive in the world. It takes rigor, and it takes courage.

L'homme oriente sa voile, appuie sur le gouvernail, avançant contre le vent par la force même du vent.
