When I first went to Paris in 1965, I fell in love with the small, family-owned restaurants that existed everywhere then, as well as the markets and the French obsession with buying fresh food, often twice a day.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I guess I don't really believe in retirement. I believe in shorter days and maybe in weekends!
Quote by -Alice Waters
I feel like old age in America is a very sad thing. I have been many different places around the world where getting older is something you look forward to.
Quote by -Alice Waters
It's so important to that we go into the public schools and we feed all of the kids something that is really good for them.
Quote by -Alice Waters
You have to take it upon yourself and preserve and can foods that you'll want for the winter.
Quote by -Alice Waters
When you have good ingredients, cooking doesn't require a lot of instruction because you can never go very wrong.
Quote by -Alice Waters
We eat every day, and if we do it in a way that doesn't recognize value, it's contributing to the destruction of our culture and of agriculture. But if it's done with a focus and care, it can be a wonderful thing. It changes the quality of your life.
Quote by -Alice Waters
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
Quote by -Alice Waters
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Quote by -Alice Waters
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
Quote by -Alice Waters
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Quote by -Alice Waters
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Quote by -Alice Waters
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
Quote by -Alice Waters
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I just hope Americans come to understand that food isn't something to be manipulated by our teeth and shoved down our gullet, that it's our spiritual and physical nourishment and important to our well-being as a nation.
Quote by -Alice Waters
English food writer Elizabeth David, cook and author Richard Olney and the owner of Domaine Tempier Lulu Peyraud have all really inspired the way I think about food.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Quote by -Alice Waters
Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think it's important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.
Quote by -Alice Waters
In Berkeley, we built the garden and a kitchen classroom. We've been working on it for 12 years. We've learned a lot from it. If kids grow it and cook it, they eat it.
Quote by -Alice Waters
The fact that most kids aren't eating at home with their families any more really means they are eating elsewhere. They are eating out there in fast food nation.
Quote by -Alice Waters
If we don't preserve the natural resources, you aren't going to have a sustainable society. This is not something for Chez Panisse and the elite of San Francisco. It's for everyone.
Quote by -Alice Waters
The act of eating is very political. You buy from the right people, you support the right network of farmers and suppliers who care about the land and what they put in the food.
Quote by -Alice Waters
A lot of equipment can get in the way of the connection with food, with touching and feeling.
Quote by -Alice Waters
This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I once had an Early Girl tomato at my friend Jay's house, and I thought that was the best thing I'd ever had. But then I visited friends in Senegal, and I ate sea urchin pulled fresh out of the sea. It tasted like the ocean.
Quote by -Alice Waters
We have to understand that we want to pay the farmers the real price for the food that they produce. It won't ever be cheap to buy real food. But it can be affordable. It's really something that we need to understand. It's the kind of work that it takes to grow food. We don't understand that piece of it.
Quote by -Alice Waters
My real emphasis is on the farmers who are taking care of the land, the farmers who are really thinking about our nourishment.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I can remember the three restaurant experiences of my childhood. All I wanted to do on my birthday was to go to the Automat in New York... but I don't know if you consider that a real restaurant.
Quote by -Alice Waters
My mother made a lot of things because she thought they'd be healthy for us. There were some very unfortunate experiences with whole wheat bread and bananas. I always tried to get rid of that sandwich and eat one of my friends' lunches.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I used to think that I wanted to be a hat maker, but I don't think that would have worked out.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I can't imagine leaving the restaurant. It's hard for me to separate my life from my work; I'm really thinking about what we're doing every day.
Quote by -Alice Waters
In countries around the world, people spend more money on food because they know how precious it is.
Quote by -Alice Waters
I don't want food that comes from animals that are caged up and fed antibiotics. I am really suspicious of that kind of production of meat and poultry.
