Terry Pratchett

Alain Badiou

The good of the people is the greatest law.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

No man is more than another unless he does more than another.

Miguel de Cervantes

Laugh and the world laughs with you, be prompt and you dine alone. For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough of its own.

Gerald Barzan

...you can't rationalize suffering - it's indeterminate - the real unknowable variable God substitutes in...

John Geddes

No man's credit is ever as good as his money.

Edward W. Howe

In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that's kind of natural for anyone who's just embraced Islam - or any religion - as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.

Cat Stevens

I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed, when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

David Walliams

Alice Walker
