From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.

Bernard Cornwell

... the very last thing I want to do is to unsettle in the mind of any Christian, whatever his denomination, the concepts -- for him traditional -- by which he finds it profitable to represent to himself what is happening when he receives the bread and wine. I could wish that no definitions had ever been felt to be necessary; and, still more, that none had been allowed to make divisions between churches.

C.S. Lewis

If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny. Well, I can say that, pessimistic as to human destiny, I am optimistic as to man.

Albert Camus

My father and I had a good relationship, it was very relaxed. He had a lot of humour. He looked a little bit like me, although he had no beard. He had the appearance of a very elegant British-looking man.

Michael Haneke

If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don't think your team will work.

Tim Hardaway

O Lord, how many read the Word, and yet from vice are not deterred.

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.

Oscar Wilde

Lead us not into temptation' often means, among other things, 'Deny me those gratifying invitations, those highly interesting contacts, that participation in the brilliant movements of our age, which I so often, at such risk, desire.'

C.S. Lewis
