Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing can ever be made.

Patience, the beggar's virtue, shall find no harbor here.

Emily Mortimer

Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.

Winston Churchill

Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk.
