Douglas HaigHe's a fallen hero, a very gentle man under that exterior. He's lived in an environment always ravaged by war and had to be realistic.

Anais NinJonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his Olympic gold medal.

Tony BlairI express my horror and disgust at this cowardly attack on innocent people. These sorts of attacks will not alter the determination of free countries to do the right thing. [on the London terrorist attacks, 7th July 2005]

Joyce GrenfellThere is music in the air. (in R. J. Buckley Sir Edward Elgar)
Sir Edward ElgarObstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.
Orison Swett MardenBe patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.
