I still understand a few words in life, but I no longer think they make a sentence.

The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

Joe Paterno

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children's book. I say, 'If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children's book', but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you're directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.

Martin Amis

The darling mispronunciations of childhood! - dear me, there's no music that can touch it; and how one grieves when it wastes away and dissolves into correctness, knowing it will never visit his bereaved ear again.

Mark Twain

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

Malcolm X

Sue Kelly

At one time, we all were Gods.

Bjorn Street

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.

Allen Ginsberg, Howl

I have been mocked by beauty, too. But it was the beauty which cost me nothing that in the end turned upon me.

Katherine Paterson

The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources.

Norman Vincent Peale

The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment... We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.

Alfred North Whitehead

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.

David Allan Coe

We need to dig deep and give people a reason to be optimistic just as Obama is doing in America. Because in the same way that outcome of the U.S. elections will change the course of events there and around the world, so too do politics here in Britain.

Lucy Powell
