While conscience is our friend all is at peace however once it is offended farewell to a tranquil mind.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me it was all about jazz.

Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions.

Any time you end a relationship and everyone has ended plenty in their life it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.

A lot of movies aren't intended for everybody.

I always always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that when I got a mini-series I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

This morning I was laughing at my cat who was running up the stairs and slipped and pretended like it didn't happen.

Now the only thing I miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. Next to the first one in the morning it's the best one of all. It tasted so good that even if I had been frigid I would have pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it.

My host at Richmond yesterday morning could not sufficiently express his surprise that I intended to venture to walk as far as Oxford and still farther. He however was so kind as to send his son a clever little boy to show me the road leading to Windsor.

The civility which money will purchase is rarely extended to those who have none.

I was fortunate enough to have my kids early so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.

My whole life sort of ended when my mom died.

It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun who does liturgical dance.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

I broke down while at Oxford was rejected by a record number of medical tribunals during the War and finally got permission to leave Oxford and do civilian work till the War ended.

Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie.

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.
