Why give chemotherapy or even antibiotics to people with end-stage Alzheimer's disease?

Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef,' I feel, is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant, we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way.

To be here recovers from a state of soul, from a state of mind. I have the memory of the heart. I know what I received. I must have the will to give back to others.
The government, in my judgment, cannot create money; the government can give its note, like an individual, and the prospect of its being paid determines its value.
Don't give up on the child. Give the child an education. Give them daily love.
Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.
You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.

If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow.
I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.
