He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with anything but sin.

That´s the problem with planning a late night supper after the opera, not only does the hero or the heroine die singing, but you end up famished after the last notes of the finale.

E.A. Bucchianeri

I was sad Jon Ronson, who wrote in the Guardian and has made a TV show for Channel 4, took against me.

Jonathan King

When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.

Simone Weil, La Table Ronde Huma

Their silence is praise enough.

Terence

Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.

Maria Sharapova

All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The world could not long ignore a holy church. The church is not despised because it is holy: it is despised because it is not holy enough. There is not enough difference between the people inside the church and those outside to be impressive. A church in which saints were as common as now they are rare would convict the world, if only by contrast. Sanctity cannot be ignored. Even a little bit is potent. So far from the gates of hell prevailing against it, it hammers on their triple steel.

W.E. (William Edwin) Sangster, T

I am an atheist, and if an atheist and a pope think the same things, there must be something true. There must be some human truth that is beyond religion.

Oriana Fallaci

The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.

Jenson Button

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you again what you are to presume. I am the judge. I am telling you that. Presume he is innocent. When you sit there, I want you to look and say to yourself, There sits an innocent man.

Scott L. Turow

And if it's proud to have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts, Miss Jenny struck in, flushed, she is proud.

Charles Dickens

Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.

Oscar Wilde
