But the elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.

I work with all these amazing voice actors that do a kajillion voices.

Katey Sagal

Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.

Janet Frame

It's not a case of 'look at me in my car' it's more, 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them, because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.

Jay Kay

The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.

Richard Buckminster Fuller

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly, if that's the best job you can get in terms of money, that's too bad, you know. Because frankly, it's not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

Malcolm Turnbull

By self-interest, Man has become gregarious, but in instinct he has remained to a great extent solitary; hence the need of religion and morality to reinforce self-interest

Bertrand Russell

Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Bill Hicks

One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself?

Shirley Hazzard

Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.

Thomas Hardy

Never say never

Charles Dickens

It's better to get smart than to get mad. I try not to get so insulted that I will not take advantage of an opportunity to persuade people to change their minds.

John H. Johnson

Victories that are easy are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.

Henry Ward Beecher
