In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out.

Remembrance of things past.

William Shakespeare

I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.

Emily Blunt

Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.

Eva Gabor

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.

Confucius

If you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.

Bob Marley

You must give to get, You must sow the seed, before you can reap the harvest.

Scott Reed

If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.

Stephen Harper

There are some men who possess a quality which goes way beyond romantic or even sexual appeal, a quality which literally enslaves. It has very little to do with looks and nothing at all to do with youth, because there are some quite mature and unathletic specimens who have it. It's an expression in the eyes, an aura of being in control, and responsible, or something easy and powerful in the stance, or who knows.

Lucille Kallen, Introducing C.B.

I like a well-roasted rotisserie chicken and eggs cooked various ways, like sunny-side up or scrambled. It's comfort food for me.

Joel Robuchon

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Buddha

The most important truth which has ever been uttered, and the greatest discovery ever made in the moral world.

A. E. Housman

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.

John Singer Sargent
