But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything

Yes, risk taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
