When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and barren.

The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.

Chuck Palahniuk

Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is 'The X Factor.'

Iain Duncan Smith

I married two weeks after my 18th birthday, far too young, and by the time I was 23 I was a single mother of three small children, Sean, Daniel and Victoria, living in a prefab house.

Sue Townsend

Most importantly, nothing has happened to change my conviction that freedom and the love of liberty remain the essential defining attributes of our national character as a people.

Ibrahim Babangida

Courage is like love; it must have hope to nourish it.

Napoleon Bonaparte

To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to create life out of life.

James Joyce

This is why I’m taking extra time to really try to get it right. I’ll have plenty of time to refine the style, but I want the basics solid.

Marco Arment

Perfect wisdom has four parts, viz., wisdom, the principle of doing things aright; justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private; fortitude, the principle of not flying danger, but meeting it; and temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.

Plato

There are only two choices: A police state in which all dissent is suppressed or rigidly controlled; or a society where law is responsive to human needs. If society is to be responsive to human needs, a vast restructuring of our laws is essential. Realization of this need means adults must awaken to the urgency of the young peoples unrestin other words there must be created an adult unrest against the inequities and injustices in the present system. If the government is in jeopardy, it is not because we are unable to cope with revolutionary situations. Jeopardy means that either the leaders or the people do not realize they have all the tools required to make the revolution come true. The tools and the opportunity exist. Only the moral imagination is missing.

William O. Douglas

A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity.

It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.

Andre Maurois

Nothing in his life became him like leaving it.

William Shakespeare
