The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.

William Feather

It's become unfashionable to celebrate political achievement, and Labour achievement even less so. And it's positively uncouth to be proud of something that this Labour government is doing. So, slam me for saying so, but I'm really proud of the NHS.

Lucy Powell

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.

Christopher Hitchens

Memory is the scribe of the soul.

Aristotle

Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her.

Jane Austen

This history of culture will explain to us the motives, the conditions of life, and the thought of the writer or reformer.

Leo Tolstoy

There is actually a fair amount of money being put behind science today.

David Baltimore

Life is a dead-end street.

H. L. Mencken
