“Mau tahu yang lebih menyedihkan dari tubuhmu yang membusuk? Bahkan di tingkat paling dasar—atom yang membentukmu—kamu tidak lebih dari kumpulan partikel yang perlahan kehilangan kendali. Elektron yang mengelilingi nukleusmu? Mereka tidak stabil. Orbital yang dulu teratur sekarang penuh dengan gangguan, energi thermal membuat mereka terus bergerak liar, tanpa tujuan selain mempercepat kehancuran sistem. Ikatan kimia yang membentuk protein, DNA, dan segala sesuatu yang menyusun tubuhmu? Mereka rentan terhadap reaksi acak yang merusak. Mutasi, degradasi, entropi bekerja tanpa henti untuk merobekmu dari dalam. Kamu pikir kamu istimewa? Kamu hanyalah konfigurasi sementara dari atom-atom yang akan tercerai berai. Begitu kamu mati, tubuhmu akan mulai terurai. Ikatan peptida di protein tubuhmu akan putus, membran sel akan bocor, dan semua molekul yang dulu menyusunmu akan dilepas kembali ke alam, terpecah menjadi bentuk yang lebih sederhana, lebih tidak berarti. Tidak ada keabadian dalam dirimu. Atom-atom yang sekarang membentuk jari-jarimu, matamu, bahkan otakmu, dulunya adalah bagian dari sesuatu yang lain—mungkin bintang yang meledak jutaan tahun lalu, mungkin bangkai makhluk yang sudah lama hilang. Dan nanti? Mereka akan menjadi bagian dari sesuatu yang lain lagi. Kamu tidak pernah memiliki eksistensi sejati, hanya sebuah formasi sementara dalam tarian kekacauan kosmik. Jadi, berhenti berpikir kamu bisa melawan. Pada akhirnya, entropi menang. Atom-atom yang sekarang menyusun tubuhmu tidak peduli padamu. Mereka akan tetap ada, tapi kamu? Kamu akan hilang, dilupakan, dan akhirnya tidak berarti sama sekali.”

“Maud placed two small cartons of rollmops in the basket of her wheeled walker, followed by a larger pack of herring salad. They were soon joined by a Stilton cheese in a blue porcelain pot, a mature Gorgonzola, a piece of ripe Brie, a packet of salted crackers, an artisan loaf that was still warm, a bunch of grapes, fresh dates, a jar of fig preserves, two bottles of julmust (the traditional Christmas soft drink), a small pack of new potatoes from the Canaries, a few clementines, and a box of After Eight chocolate mints. She was very pleased to find a portion of Jansson's Temptation in the pre-prepared-foods section and quickly added it to her basket.”

“Maumivu ya matatizo ya yule aliyekukosea hayana tofauti na maumivu ya matatizo ya wewe uliyekosewa. Adui yako (kwa mfano) akifiwa na mke aliyempenda sana, atajisikia vibaya kama utakavyojisikia vibaya kufiwa na mke uliyempenda sana. Kuwa na huruma kwa waliokukosea, wakati wa shida.”

“Maura was so still he could barely hear her breathe. He spooned whipped cream into her mouth, a cherry varenyk, another sprinkle of salt. He watched the flavors marry as she chewed, saw that smile, spread across her face. He wanted to kiss her, to taste what she tasted. "There it is," she whispered. Fleur de sel," he said, holding up the little jar. "Flowers of salt." She opened her eyes. "That's beautiful." "You're beautiful. It's just salt." He felt his face burn as soon as he said it. He wasn't good at this part. "And I, apparently, am mostly cheese." "I like cheese.”

“Maverick DeVille…whoever the fuck that is.” Dante’s eyes narrowed in recognition. “I recognize that name. His family owns a cheese business outside of Florence. It’s been in their family since the days of kings.” “My father wants me to marry a guy who smells like cheese?” I asked incredulously, not the least bit impressed with his family wealth. “If he made wine, then at least he would be somewhat useful. But cheese?”

“Mavericks and its talent deserve this innovation and respect. Now is the time to harness its power for the world to experience. These athletes amaze me with each wave ridden; I am honored to take on such an empowering responsibility. I look forward to celebrating these artists of big wave surfing through showcasing the most important wave in history.”
