And that's what we'll do every day. If you or your friends spray-paint obscenities on our walls, we'll scrub them off, and the people will come. if you break our windows, we'll fix them, and the people will come. If you hurt us, we'll wash off the blood, slap on some bandages and the people will come...any wound you inflict, we'll stitch up. We're not going to stop, no matter what you do. This work is too important. Too many lives are at stake.

We tend to steer clear of being pedantic it's entertainment first, otherwise we'd be on a lecture circuit.

Minna Antrim

You can't win with some people. If you're not in government, you're criticised for being not serious. If you are in government, you're criticised for wanting power. That's the Labour party's line of attack, and it's a bit ridiculous.

Vince Cable

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
