I do have to travel a lot for speaking engagements.

My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

Then when Matt had come along it hadn't been fireworks, passion and fights and drama. It had been low- key, sweet, lovely. But that didn't meant it wasn't the real thing. It never had done. Just because it wasn't suprising hadn't meant it wasn't right.

Jenny Colgan

The world of crime is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted, spontaneous event.

Daniel J. Boorstin

The moment you have a self at all, there is a possibility of putting yourself first - wanting to be the centre - wanting to be God, in fact. That was the sin of Satan: and that was the sin he taught the human race. Some people think the fall of man had something to do with sex, but that is a mistake...what Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they 'could be like Gods' - could set up on their own as if they had created themselves - be their own masters - invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come...the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

C.S. Lewis

I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine

Albert Camus

I'm not afraid of your kind or your God.
