There's so much proscription in the lives of young people, and it's so vital to have a place that says, look, here are the doors onto the world and amazingly, you're free to choose any one you like. - Patrick Ness on Libraries

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

Rebecca De Mornay

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

As long as I have the support and respect of my teammates, that's all I can ask for.

Darren Flutie

Your boss loves your ideas ... it's you he doesn't care about.

Steven Charles

He looked like a fallen angel, replete with all the dangerous male beauty that Lucifer could devise.

Hatreds are the cinders of affection.

Sir Walter Raleigh

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the resta kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein

Confidence in the principles of an enemy must remain even during war, otherwise a peace could never be concluded; and hostilities would degenerate into a war of extermination since war in fact is but the sad resource employed in a state of nature in defence of rights; force standing there in lieu of juridical tribunals. Neither of the two parties can be accused of injustice, since for that purpose a juridical decision would be necessary. But here the event of a battle (as formerly the judgments of God) determines the justice of either party; since between states there cannot be a war of punishment no subordination existing between them. A war, therefore, which might cause the destruction of both parties at once, together with the annihilation of every right, would permit the conclusion of a perpetual peace only upon the vast burial-ground of the human species.

Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace

People ask what the secret of a happy marriage is. If there is one, it's 'don't talk about it.'

Jane Asher

Looking down the road, space exploration and the benefits it yields - in medicine and information technology - should not be overlooked.

Bob Barr

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

Colin Powell

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

George Bernard Shaw
