I don't have famous neighbours and if I did, I'd avoid them. I don't live the jet-set.

You cannot explain failure any more than you can argue with success.

J. Richard Clarke

We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.

Theresa May

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

Friedrich Engels

I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.

Blaise Pascal

Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the sould of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

Paulo Coelho

The impact of violent video games upon children is not as clearly established as the impact of violent television programming. Young children possess an instinctive desire to imitate actions they observe, without always possessing the intellect or maturity to determine if such actions are appropriate. Due to their role-modeling capacity to promote real world violence, there is deep concern that playing violent video games, with their fully digitized human images, will cause children to become more aggressive toward other children and become more tolerant of, and more likely to engage in, real-life violence.

Robert E. McAfee, MD., In testim

Because God is a rational being and the universe is his personal creation, it necessarily has a rational, lawful, stable structure, awaiting increased human comprehension. This is the key to many intellectual undertakings, among them, the rise of science.

Rodney Stark

You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.

Julian Assange

I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams.... Man...is above all the plaything of his memory.

Andre Breton, Surrealist Manifes

The physicality of a real relationship - one that encompasses mind, body and soul - ultimately makes it more fulfilling and powerful than any virtual relationship ever could be.

Henry Cloud

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.

Robert Browning

Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.

G. K. Chesterton
