Imbecile!" the chef shouted. "next time why don't you just put your whole hand in the food, hey? yes, your whole hand, or maybe your face! i arrange the food on plates with care, are you understanding what i am telling you? it is part of the art form of cooking, yes? a lovely plate of food is a thing of beauty! and then you, numbskull, come along and put your fat greasy fingers all over my plate, and shake the plate, and move my food all around the plate until it looks like pigs' vomit!" "chef vlad!" i cried out in delight.

If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

I will trust him. whatever, wherever i am, i can never be thrown away. if i am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if i am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. my sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. he does nothing in vain.

She was no longer that happy creature who in earlier youth wandered with me on the banks of the lake and talked with ecstasy of our future prospects. the first of those sorrows which are sent to wean us from the earth had visited her, and its dimming influence quenched her dearest smiles.
