The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat Picture Quote #1

I don't think that there are very many good writers who don't live without a sense of tension. If they haven't got one immediately available to them, then they usually manage to manufacture it in their private lives Picture Quote #1

In the last 15 or 20 years, I've watched the British press simply go to hell. there seems to be no limit, no depths to which the tabloids won't sink. I don't know who these people are but they're little pigs Picture Quote #1

People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others Picture Quote #1

The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things Picture Quote #1

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires Picture Quote #1

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity Picture Quote #1

The world is full of warfare 'twixt the evil and the good; I watched the battle from afar as one who understood the shouting and confusion, the bloody, blundering fight - how few there are that see it clear, how few that wage it right! Picture Quote #1

Who can explain the secret pathos of nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever Picture Quote #1

Ancestors do not mean so much. The rebel who succeeds generally makes it easier for the posterity that follows him; so these descendants are usually contented and smug and soft. Rebels are made from life, not ancestors Picture Quote #1

Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past.
