I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Roy Lichtenstein

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts.

Mary Wortley Montagu

John Boehner

Give fools their gold, and knaves their power let fortune's bubbles rise and fall who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.

John Greenleaf Whittier

O, hereWill I set up my everlasting rest,And shake the yoke of inauspicious starsFrom this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O youThe doors of breath, seal with a righteous kissA dateless bargain to engrossing death!

William Shakespeare

We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.

Jonathan Sacks

Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.

Oscar Wilde
