He has come to the most dreadful conclusion a literary man can come to, the conclusion that the ordinary view is the right one. It is only the last and wildest kind of courage that can stand on a tower before ten thousand people and tell them that twice two is four.

I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation.

Knut Hamsun

I was a loner as a child and happiest at home, launching toy rockets and aeroplanes. When I started causing trouble in my third year at grammar school, Mum was really surprised. My parents sent me to a child psychologist, who suggested I might have Asperger's syndrome.

Gary Numan

Haven't you learned yet that I put something more than whisky into my speeches.

Sir Winston Churchill, to his so

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

William Morris

When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible. Neverthess, no one doubts that we are confronted with a causal connection whose causal components are in the main known to us. Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact perdiction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.

Albert Einstein

To love a thing means wanting it to live.

Confucius

To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.

Mark Twain

Mike Fitzpatrick

I always liked the magic of poetry but now I'm just starting to see behind the curtain of even the best poets, how they've used, tried and tested craft to create the illusion. Wonderful feeling of exhilaration to finally be there.

David Knopfler

The Reality of The Other Person Lies Not In What He Reveals To You, But What He Cannot Reveal To You.Therefore, If You Would Understand Him, Listen Not To What He Says, But Rather To What He Does Not Say.

Kahlil Gibran

It ought to be an offense to be excruciating and unfunny in circumstances where your audience is almost morally obliged to enthuse.

Christopher Hitchens

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.
