All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.

Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons

Aldous Huxley

Our love is an old love, baby. It's older than all our years. I have seen in strange young eyes Familiar tears.

Paul Williams (songwriter)

As he was valiant, I honor him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.

William Shakespeare

I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very, very key ambitions in politics, not least social mobility and life chances, that I care about as passionately if not more.

Nick Clegg

Truth is not beautiful, neither is ugly, Why should it be either? Truth is Truth.

Owen C. Middleton

The power of the people and the power of reason are one.

Georg Buchner

And when I get real, real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I'm leaving.

Steven Wright

Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I'm wearing will never really fit.

Jodi Picoult

The City's reluctance to take a stand on an issue like the British Gas pay row makes a mockery of corporate governance and shareholders' ability to influence annual general meetings. Institutions should be obliged to make public how they vote at such events. They should be obliged to provide customers with a record of how they vote on every kind of issue.

Patrick Donovan

The three great American vices seem to be efficiency, punctuality, and the desire for achievement and success. They are the things that make the Americans so unhappy and so nervous.

Lin Yutang, The Importance of Li

A committee is an animal with four back legs.

John le Carre

To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it.
