The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.

I have not yet begun to fight!

John Paul Jones

Well football teams are perhaps easier to control than political parties, I'm sure the Prime Minister would agree with me, but yeah I think every team needs discipline and a sense of self-belief and that's important, that's what leadership's all about.

Iain Duncan Smith

I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

Martin Luther

For a split second I felt as though she was nobody special in the larger scheme of my life. She was just some girl who had tied me to her leg to help her sink when she jumped off the bridge. Then I blinked and was in love with her again.

Miranda July

If a book comes from the heart it will contrive to reach other hearts. All art and author craft are of small account to that.

Thomas Carlyle

There are flood and drought over the eyes and in the mouth, dead water and dead sand contending for the upper hand. The parched eviscerate soil gapes at the vanity of toil, laughs without mirth. This is the death of the earth.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Hey guys!Wish you were here, except not really. We're having fun. Check it out-the pyramids!-Alec and Magnus

Cassandra Clare

Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.

Antonin Artaud

Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake. They're not impossible. Reality is real. It's totally and completely under my control.

Julie Anne Peters

I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It's a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.

King Abdullah II

No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
