I have become vegan – I don’t take dairy or meat. It has helped me a lot in terms of recovery and digestion.

Sleep is all about recovering. So if you’re not sleeping, you’re not recovering. And if you’re going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I’m up at 5:30 the next day.

Americans move more than 10 times over the course of a lifetime.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

I know three people who have got better after a brain tumour. I haven’t heard of anyone who’s got better from Alzheimer’s.

I’m just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I’d be seeing Elvis soon.

I can remember being home from school with tonsillitis and writing stories in bed to pass the time.

We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.

I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.

There is no doubt that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more economical than meat, and superior to it in regard to both mechanical and mental performance. Such food, moreover, taxes our digestive organs decidedly less, and, in making us more contented and sociable, produces an amount of good difficult to estimate.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.

As unique as we all are, an awful lot of us want the same things. We want to shake up our current less-than-fulfilling lives. We want to be happier, more loving, forgiving and connected with the people around us.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn’t recognize myself.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.

Economy forced me to become a vegetarian, but I finally starting liking it.

Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You’re not out of it until the computer says you’re out of it.

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.

I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.

I just don’t like killing creatures.

I don’t use any animal products, both because of ethical and environmental and climate reasons.

I personally have stopped flying. I have stopped eating meat and dairy.

The reason I became 297 pounds is because that was comfortable. What was very uncomfortable was running. What was very uncomfortable was being on a diet. What was very uncomfortable was trying to face things that I didn’t want to face. And I also realized, when I was really big, I had no growth. Why? Because I was living comfortable.

I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer’s disease where they slowly began to recover other people’s lost memories.

People change because of kids. They change how they eat. They change the way they think. They change the way they see one another.

I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.

This President is going to lead us out of this recovery.

I’ve stopped drinking, but only while I’m asleep.

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.

I fell and broke my pelvic bone in three places. So, I’m still sort of an invalid now.

I enjoy convalescence. It is the part that makes the illness worth while.

I did this book ‚Harvest for Hope,‘ and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.

I think that America’s recovery of a global strategic view is an absolutely essential element of our foreign policy.

I’m like a recovering perfectionist. For me it’s one day at a time.

I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed… so drastically, I couldn’t believe it myself.

I did not, thank the Lord, have to have a hysterectomy.

We’re still in a recession. We’re not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.

Proper sleep has helped me get to where I am today as an athlete, and it is something that I continue to rely on every day.

I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it’s the most aspirational diet because it’s so easy. It’s quite simple, the cooking I do.

People’s choice to become vegan, from people I’ve spoken to, seems motivated by fear.

I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It’s embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.

Being a vegan is a first-world phenomenon, completely self-indulgent.

A merry heart doeth good like medicine.

Nothing on ‚Relapse‘ and very little on ‚Recovery‘ was produced by me.

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.

I try to be vegan… I really, really try. I don’t eat any red meat, and the whole animal thing really upsets me, so I’ve tried.

I’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.

Even if the government spends itself into bankruptcy and the economy still does not recover, Keynesians can always say that it would have worked if only the government had spent more.

I don’t digest things with my mind.

Animals are my friends… and I don’t eat my friends.

It was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I’d put on 50 pounds.

Rebellions of the belly are the worst.

It’s okay to eat fish because they don’t have any feelings.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

I have moved to a smaller house in Paris, and I don’t fancy having so much staff now.

What medicines do not heal, the lance will; what the lance does not heal, fire will.

I can no longer walk in the street. That’s over.

We all knew this. We all knew that it would take more time than any of us want to dig ourselves out of this hole created by this economic crisis.
