I was much distressed by next door people who had twin babies and played the violin but one of the twins died, and the other has eaten the fiddle, so all is peace.

The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.

Benjamin Disraeli

It is better we disintegrate in peace and not in pieces.

Nnamdi Azikiwe

I slept for four years. I didn't study much of anything. I majored in something called communication arts.

Don DeLillo

I mean, that's a sad day in America when you're recalled because you did what you said you were going to do, and the public voted you in to do that.

Russell Pearce

I love being in the gym.

Scott Brooks

When you have two people who love each other, are happy and gay and really good work is being done by one or both of them, people are drawn to them as surely as migrating birds are drawn at night to a powerful beacon. If the two people were as solidly constructed as the beacon there would be little damage except to the birds. Those who attract people by their happiness and their performance are usually inexperienced. They do not know how not to be overrun and how to go away. They do not always learn about the good, the attractive, the charming, the soon-beloved, the generous, the understanding rich who have no bad qualities and who give each day the quality of a festival and who, when they have passed and taken the nourishment they needed, leave everything deader than the roots of any grass Attila's horses' hooves have ever scoured.

Ernest Hemingway

Why are all reflections lovelier than what we call reality? -- not so grand or so strong, it may be, but always lovelier? Fair as is the gliding sloop on the shining sea, the wavering, trembling, unresting sail below is fairer still...All mirrors are magic mirrors. The commonest room is a room in a poem when I turn to the glass...There must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.

George MacDonald

The present times require the vigor and the activity of the prime of life; but I feel the increasing infirmities of age to such a degree, that I am conscious I cannot serve you to advantage.

Christopher Gadsden

I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.

Huey Newton

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

Tadao Ando

Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.

Edward Dahlberg

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.
