Personality is everything in art and poetry.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My parents had an arranged marriage, as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one, and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it, and I will continue to write about it.

Jhumpa Lahiri

Francis Bacon

Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is.

Elbert Hubbard

It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The Liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11.25

Bible

Gertrude Stein

Edward George BulwerLytton

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22)

Bible

There's more of yourself in a book than a play. that's why we know all about Dickens and not much about Shakespeare. Ben Jonson murdered people; Marlowe was a spy; Shakespeare just sat in the corner and took notes.

Sir John Mortimer

If truth is the first victim of war, then read on - I've got some great lies for you this month.

Alan Gorrie
