My life is really so much based in England.

We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.

Paulo Coelho

The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.

Henry Drummond

Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have, but rather it is a sacred duty, and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent.

Bryant H. McGill

The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.

Vladimir Lenin

Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window.

Peter Drucker

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Mark Twain

It's hard to think of yourself as a brand, especially when I have four daughters who kick my butt early in the morning every day before I go to work.

Harvey Weinstein

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbism does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.

Cornelia Otis Skinner

I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.

Anthony Horowitz

The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.

Leon Edel

Men who think that a woman's past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Marilyn Monroe
