My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.

Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.

Phaedrus

Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly.

William James

not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of . . . but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take.

Thomas Jefferson

I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.

David Walliams

Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold.

Proverb

Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.

African Proverb

It's like, no matter what I do, I always feel like I'm five years old, and I end up in the back of my father's car looking out the window, and nothing has changed in 25 years.

Dylan McDermott

Listening to medical facts was not enough. People wanted one hundred percent guarantees.

Ryan White

That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally.

Conrad Hall

If there is something great in you, it will not appear on your first call. It will not appear and come to you easily, without any work and effort.

Leo Tolstoy

Always tell the truth - it's the easiest thing to remember.

David Mamet

I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.
