We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family, living in the country, leading an idyllic life.

Personally, I experience the greatest degree of pleasure in having contact with works of art. They furnish me with happy feelings of an intensity such as I cannot derive from other realms.

Albert Einstein

The middle class is doing fine in fiction. But it's not what gets me going. I love the working class, and everyone from it I've met, and think they're incredibly witty, inventive - there's a lot of poetry there.

Martin Amis

It is the unknown that we fear when we look into death and darkness, nothing more.-Albus Dumbledore

J.K. Rowling

Drive thy business or it will drive thee.

Benjamin Franklin

Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride.

Gary Allan

I feel very proud, even though they didn't elect me, to be President of the Argentines.

General Leopoldo Galtieri

I have decided to fight for my country, because we have build a success story in Guanajuato, with real results and more yet to come in the next two years.

Vicente Fox

If poverty is the mother of crime, lack of good sense is the father.

Jean de la Bruyere

Bertrand Russell

You should be careful what you wish for, as the reasons for war get confused. One person can be very clear in their motives, but others can have different agendas.

Dougray Scott

Poets should ignore most criticism and get on with making poetry.

Anne Stevenson
