Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,' I says, 'but don't insult me poor bleedin' country.

Time is not what you think. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.

Mitch Albom, The Five People You

The cut of a garment speaks of intellect and talent and the color of temperament and heart.

Thomas Carlyle

I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.

Miuccia Prada

Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest

Abraham Lincoln

High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.

Christopher Morley

Charles Laughton, who's a great hero of mine, only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever, which is 'The Night of the Hunter.' It's full of his kind of imagination and creation and how you do things and just in the way he used the studio, I just thought it was a fantastical way of using the studio.

Brian Cox

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on -- have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear -- what remains? Nature remains.

Walt Whitman

Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.

Emile M. Cioran

It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.

Samuel Johnson

I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

Jane Siberry

She was never going to seek gainful employment again, that was for certain. She'd remain outside the public sector. She'd be an anarchist, she'd travel with jaguars. She was going to train herself to be totally irrational. She'd fall in love with a totally inappropriate person. She'd really work on it, but abandon would be involved as well. She'd have different names, a.k.a. Snake, a.k.a. Snow - no that was juvenile. She wanted to be extraordinary, to possess a savage glitter.

Joy Williams

Asian food is very easy to like because it hits your mouth very differently than European food does. In European food, there may be two things to hit - maybe sweet and salty, maybe salty-savory, but Asian kind of works around, plus you have that distinct flavor that's usually working in Asian food.
