Conceive. That is the word that means both the beginning in imagination and the end in creation.

Gods prefer simple, vicious games, where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go Straight To Oblivion; a key to the understanding of all religion is that a god's idea of amusement is Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs.

Terry Pratchett

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy; for the apparel oft proclaims the man.

William Shakespeare

The wronged side is always the safest.

Sibbes

A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit. A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.

Vaclav Havel

Daniel Craig

Is the proposed operation likely to succeed? What might the consequences of failure? Is it in the realm of practicability in terms of material and supplies?

Chester W. Nimitz

Show business is really 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent being able to handle it when it gets offered to you.

Tommy Steele

A person's fate is their own temper.

Benjamin Disraeli

How complicated and unpredictable the machinery of life really is.

Kurt Vonnegut
