Quote by Edward George BulwerLytton

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.

Summary

This quote suggests that when two individuals or paths of life separate, it is similar to ships sailing in different directions, creating a significant physical and emotional distance between them. Like ships that continue on their separate voyages, individuals who go their own ways may find themselves adrift in separate experiences and lifestyles, no longer connected as closely as they once were. This quote serves as a metaphor highlighting the sense of detachment and divergence that can occur when personal or relational journeys diverge.

None of us had any idea of how successful Downton was going

None of us had any idea of how successful Downton was going to be. I thought I was signing up for another period drama that had a slightly modern feel. It had a freedom about it because it was coming out of the head of Julian Fellowes. Anything could happen and generally did.

Government is force, pure and simple. There's no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society - people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily.

If we can get that realistic feminine morality working for us, if we can trust ourselves and so let women think and feel that an unwanted child or an oversize family is wrong -- not ethically wrong, not against the rules, but morally wrong, all wrong, wrong like a thalidomide birth, wrong like taking a wrong step that will break your neck -- if we can get feminine and human morality out from under the yoke of a dead ethic, then maybe we'll begin to get somewhere on the road that leads to survival.
