• Nueve de cada diez chefs ingleses llevan su nombre en el pecho. ¿Quiénes se creen que son? Son soñadores. Son bromistas. Pregúntate cuántos chefs de este país tienen estrellas Michelin y cuántos llevan su nombre en la chaqueta. Todos usamos delantales azules en mi cocina porque todos somos commis. Todavía estamos aprendiendo.

• Creo que es muy atractivo cuando la gente cocina. Así que no llevo pantalones de chándal. Cuando te vistes sexy para cocinar, también, es como, joder, ¿tengo una chica que puede cocinar y tener ese aspecto? Y siempre llevo delantales muy monos.

• Apparently the complete works of Shakespeare packed quite a wallop. To think, my mother said I'd never find use for an English degree. Ha! I'd like to see her knock someone silly with an apron and a cookie press.

• Cuando los hombres vuelven a casa, se trata más de formar parte de la familia, de estar con los niños, de pasar más tiempo con ellos, de ser un modelo fuerte. Pero creo que ir tan lejos como cocinar y ponerse el delantal, eso le quita masculinidad, y lo echaría de menos.

• ... I see the green earth covered with the works of man or with the ruins of men’s work. The pyramids weigh down the earth, the tower of Babel has pierced the sky, the lovely temples and the gray castles have fallen into ruins. But of all those things which hands have built, what hasn’t fallen nor ever will fall? Dear friends, throw away the trowel and mortarboard! Throw your masons’ aprons over your heads and lie down to build dreams! What are temples of stone and clay to the soul? Learn to build eternal mansions of dreams and visions!

• When I left Merle was wearing a bungalow apron and rolling pie crust. She came to the door wiping her hands on the apron and kissed me on the mouth and began to cry and ran back into the house, leaving the doorway empty [...] I had a funny feeling as I saw the house disappear, as though I had written a poem and it was very good and I had lost it and would never remember it again.

• Most men probably wouldn't want to live the lives of bonobos. They're constantly clinging to their mothers' apron strings. They lack the ability to make decisions about their own fates, something that we and male chimpanzees practically consider our birthright.

• La fortuna en los hombres tiene alguna pequeña diferencia,
  Uno alardea en harapos, otro revolotea en brocado,
  El zapatero con delantal y el párroco con toga,
  El fraile encapuchado y el monarca coronado.

• The conventional explanation for Jewish success, of course, is that Jews come from a literate, intellectual culture. They are famously "the people of the book." There is surely something to that. But it wasn't just the children of rabbis who went to law school. It was the children of garment workers. And their critical advantage in climbing the professional ladder wasn't the intellectual rigor you get from studying the Talmud. It was the practical intelligence and savvy you get from watching your father sell aprons on Hester Street.

• Una garza nocturna de corona negra estaba de pie sobre un delantal de arena húmeda, mirando a través del canal. El penacho de plumas de su nuca se levantaba con una ligera brisa. Ahí fuera, el canal agitaba sus remolinos ciclónicos en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj. Los bancos de anchoas, fletanes y lubinas iban y venían: destellos plateados, pequeñas tormentas que surgen del interior del mar pero duran poco, como los relámpagos.

• I was a daughterless mother. I had nowhere to put the things a mother places on her daughter. The nail polish I used to paint our toenails hardened. Our favorite videos gathered dust. Her small apron was in a box in the attic. Her shoes - the sparkly ones, the leopard rain boots, the ballet slippers - stood in a corner.

• ¿Qué buscamos como recompensa? Algunos pequeños sonidos, y olores, y escenas Una pequeña mano lanzando fresas hacia adelante Los delantales de una mujer llenos de verdes.

• Many authors write like amateur blacksmiths making their first horseshoe; the clank of the anvil, the stench of the scorched leather apron, the sparks and the cursing are palpable, and this appeals to those who rank "sincerity" very high. Nabokov is more like a master swordsmith making a fine blade; nothing is amiss, nothing is too much, there is no fuss, and the finished product must be handled with great care, or it will cut you badly.

• Slowly he took out the clothes in which, ten years beforem Cosette had left Montfermeil; first the little dress, then the black scarf, then the great heavy child's shoes Cosette could still almost have worn, so small was her foot, then the vest of very thich fustian, then the knitted petticoat, the the apron with pockets, then the wool stockings.... Then his venerable white head fell on the bed, this old stoical heart broke, his face was swallowed up, so to speak, in Cosette's clothes, and anybody who had passed along the staircase at that moment would have heard irrepressible sobbing.

• The diagnosis of drunkenness was that it was a disease for which the patient was in no way responsible, that it was created by existing saloons, and non-existing bright hearths, smiling wives, pretty caps and aprons. The cure was the patent nostrum of pledge-signing, a lying-made-easy invention, which like calomel, seldom had any permanent effect on the disease for which it was given, and never failed to produce another and a worse. Here the care created an epidemic of forgery, falsehood and perjury.
