Without the culinary arts, the crudeness of life would be unbearable. -- Kate and Leopold

We can learn to be cooks, but we must be born knowing how to roast. -- Brillat-Savarin

Buttercup: You mock my pain.

Westley: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something. -- The Princess Bride
