In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.

I confess that I do not understand the principle on which the power to fix a minimum for the wages of women can be denied by those who admit the power to fix a maximum for their hours of work. I fully assent to the proposition that here as elsewhere the distinctions of the law are distinctions of degree, but I perceive no difference in the kind or degree of interference with liberty, the only matter with which we have any concern, between the one case and the other. The bargain is equally affected whichever half you regulate. It will need more than the Nineteenth Amendment to convince me that there are no differences between men and women, or that legislation cannot take those differences into account.

I have great hope that some patriotic spirit will, at a favorable moment, call (up the law for religious freedom) and make it the keystone of the arch of our government

Thomas Jefferson

Promote yourself but do not demote another.

Compare the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.

John Berger

Yo-Yo Ma

Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.

Margaret Atwood

I love being a dad, it keeps me fit and inspired and children are so funny. They always supply you with acting material!

Wesley Snipes

I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.

Benedict Cumberbatch

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

Winston Churchill

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Douglas Adams

All things tend to corrupt perverted minds.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
