Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly, with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession.

I feel like a micro cog in a macrocosm

Mary Guyette

She thoroughly understands what no other Church has ever understood, how to deal with enthusiasts.

Thomas Babington Macaulay

I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested, but I went into a diversion programme, and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.

David Soul

Lord Byron

Johnny Weir
