I love Mikhail Bulgakov. He is very original and takes the story to unexpected places. I didn't realise political writing could be so funny.

Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse.

Hugo Gernsback

[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.

C.S. Lewis

You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.

John Green

Jennifer Hudson

Courage is knowing what not to fear.

Plato

I'll tell you the truth; I wanted to leave me for Sid Caesar.

Red Buttons

I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.

Charlie Chaplin

Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.

Dame Mary Gilmore

The pace of technological change in recent years has been both impressive and positive for consumers.
