How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression gainst any neighbor--anywhere in the world.

Can I just say here how much I hate the word 'pamper'?

Julie Burchill

There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.

Aldous Huxley

They change their climate, not their soul, who rush across the sea.

Horace

But Dumbledore says he doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the Chocolate Frog cards.

J.K. Rowling

Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.

Harold Pinter

Let's face it, there are no plain women on television.

Anna Ford

The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well.

H. T. Leslie

We must return to nature and nature's god.
