You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Ray Bradbury, "Reader's Digest",

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work, instead of retirement, then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly, the disabled, then again that's very positive.

Theresa May

Carl Gustav Jung

Pain was a fascinating horror

Aldous Huxley

I'll have that someday, thought Peter. Someone who'll kiss me good-bye at the door. Or maybe just someone to put a blindfold over my head before they shoot me. Depending on how things turn out.

Orson Scott Card

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

Ang Lee

Women serve but to keep a man from better company.

William Wycherley

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is a shame that when we have a good dream we are asleep at the time.

P.K. Shaw

True, conscious honour is to feel no sin; he's armed without that's innocent within.

Alexander Pope
