I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math.

Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.

E. M. Forster

In regard to this principle, that all men are born free and equal, if there is an animal on earth to which it does not applythat is not born free, it is manhe is born in a state of the most abject want, and in a state of perfect helplessness and ignorance, which is the foundation of the connubial tie.

Terry Pratchett

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

Benjamin Disraeli

Every day offers us simple gifts when we are willing to search our hearts for the place that's right for each of us. (January 15)

Sarah Breathnach

We did not go to war in Afghanistan or in Iraq to, quote, 'impose democracy.' We went to war in both places because we saw those regimes as a threat to the United States.
