It is easy to go down into Hell night and day the gates of dark Death stand wide but to climb back again to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub the task.

As men are not able to fight against death misery ignorance they have taken it into their heads in order to be happy not to think of them at all.

The U.S. couldn't even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They'll be killing each other again in less than a year. I'm sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.

When your time comes to die be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

It is possible to provide security against other ills but as far as death is concerned we men live in a city without walls.

I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead. and anyone who does not remember betrays them again.

Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook but John is a really great one. Literally I never cook. The whole time we were dating I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again.

At the time that I knew them they were not living together. They began dating again after their divorce so I didn't really see fighting.

I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.

Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.

I lost my dad way too early and it was agonisingly awful. I missed him so much and I hated knowing that I could never again pick up the phone to tell him about my day.

My dad said 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more.

My dad's a doctor and when I was 8 I went to one of his medical conferences where they were demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken. I was so mad that a chicken had to die I never ate meat again.

My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.

I love revolutionaries who have the courage to stand up against the status quo. They're always misunderstood but they're the ones who are standing up for human rights.

A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice.

Unjust. How many times I've used that word scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself and to hell with justice.

But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity or if it is insisted upon by a commander irresponsibility.

Courage and conviction are powerful weapons against an enemy who depends only on fists or guns. Animals know when you are afraid a coward knows when you are not.
