Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?

George Orwell

You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'Somebody died when they were 73 good life'. You're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. No point in saying things you don't believe in.

Ian Mckellen

Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't.

Damien Hirst

Most things happen for a reason and it may take years to discover why, but this is almost always for the better.

Ursula A. Ciller

The last time doesn't exist. It's only this time. And everything is going to be different this time. There's only now.

Bill Murray

Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will not do for a man who has been used to sensible women. They are two distinct orders of being.

Jane Austen

This is where it all begins. Everything starts here, today.

David Nicholls

A great deal has been written in recent years about the purported lack of motivation in the children of the Negro ghettos. Little in my experience supports this, yet the phrase has been repeated endlessly, and the blame in almost all cases is placed somewhere outside the classroom.

Jonathan Kozol

The importance of the culture industry in the spiritual constitution of the masses is no dispensation for reflection on its objective legitimation, its essential being, least of all by a science which thinks itself pragmatic.

Theodor Adorno

When I was younger - it might be a romantic idea - I always thought I might go crazy.

Diane Kruger

I figure no matter how old you are, it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.

Utada Hikaru

The venerable teachers, philosophers
