The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out, I had the rent for the month.

That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?

Andrea Dworkin

No crime is so great as daring to excel.

Winston Churchill

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.

David Wilkerson

Our country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.

Horatio Nelson

A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house : that is the true middle-class unit.

George Bernard Shaw

There is nobody more terrible than the desperate.

Alexander Suvorov

I was sad Jon Ronson, who wrote in the Guardian and has made a TV show for Channel 4, took against me.

Jonathan King

I felt strongly that since the pursuit of good science was so difficult it was essential that the problem being studied was an important one to justify the effort expanded.

Paul Nurse

It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.

John Locke

Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means --one feels they are taking quite a liberty in going astray; whereas people of fortune may naturally indulge in a few delinquencies.

George Eliot

If the years have taught me one thing it's that those who care are always scarce. Those who genuinely care; not the acquaintances, false friends or those with similar aspirations. The few who seek your company, the souls who would plainly step off the world for you. Once you resolve to ignore them, only regret will follow.
