Anger tears me up inside... My own... or anyone else's.

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.

Jean Ingelow

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

Sophie Ellis Bextor

Creativity in science could be described as the act of putting two and two together to make five

Arthur Koestler

Nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude

Oscar Wilde

My cooking philosophy, what I try to do, is to make a cuisine where the produce and the product shines, compared to some current trends that are maybe more adding additional things, like molecular cuisine, with a lot of additives and chemicals, which are now showing that they could be bad for your health.

Joel Robuchon

People will then often say, But surely it's better to remain an Agnostic just in case?' This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I've been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would choose not to worship him anyway.)

Douglas Adams

As there is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it, so reasonable arguments, challenges to magnanimity, and appeals to sympathy or justice, are folly when we are dealing with human crocodiles and boa-constrictors.

William James

Alas! if the principles of contentment are not within us, the height of station and worldly grandeur will as soon add a cubit to a man's stature as to his happiness.

Laurence Sterne

Certain situations need a Jedi-like approach. One of these is when you are in a strange environment, usually where you feel unsure of yourself. You would be surprised how, if you walk with confidence and meaning, people will see this as a mark of confidence, yet you are perhaps shaking inside but outwardly you have the gait of a confident Jedi Knight.

Stephen Richards

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

Abraham Lincoln

You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.

David Miliband

Y'know, you can't please all the people all the time... and last night, all those people were at my show.

Mitch Hedberg
