Marcus Aurelius
“The offender needs pity, not wrath; those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness; and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Mark Kermode
“Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad televisionâ€�.”
Mark Kermode, It's Only a Movie: Reel Life Adventures of a Film Obsessive

Ian Fleming
“Never say 'no' to adventures. Always say 'yes,' otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.”
Ian Fleming

Alan             Moore
“Remembering's dangerous. I find the past such a worrying, anxious place. "The Past Tense," I suppose you'd call it. Memory's so treacherous. One moment you're lost in a carnival of delights, with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy-floss... the next, it leads you somewhere you don't want to go. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you'd hoped were forgotten. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes. Like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can't face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren't contractually tied down to rationality! There is no sanity clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there's always madness. Madness is the emergency exitâ€� you can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them awayâ€� forever.”
Alan Moore, Batman: The Killing Joke

Tallulah Bankhead
“There have only been two geniuses in the world â€� Willie Mays and Willie Shakespeare.”
Tallulah Bankhead
