She told me she had a note, somebody was sick.

I was feeling well enough to eat the pears.

I thought I would go out, and see if the air would make me feel any better.

I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers.

I don't know what I have said. I have answered so many questions and I am so confused I don't know one thing from another. I am telling you just as nearly as I know.

She said she was going out, and would get the dinner. That is the last I saw her, or said anything to her.

Oh, Mrs. Churchill, do come over, someone has killed father.

Go for Dr. Bowen as soon as you can. I think father is hurt.

I did not hear her go or come back, but I supposed she went.

I was not up stairs when he came home; no, sir.

I have been away a great deal in the daytime, occasionally at night.

Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.

I knew there was an old axe down cellar; that is all I knew.

My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.

I did not see his face, because he was all covered with blood.

I don't know whether Mrs. Borden is out or in; I wish you would see if she is in her room.

I was on the stairs coming down when she let him in.

I said I thought first I was on the stairs; then I remembered I was in the kitchen when he came in.

She told me she had a note, somebody was sick.

Maggie went out of doors to wash the windows and father came out into the kitchen and said he did not know whether he would go down to the post office or not. And then I sprinkled some handkerchiefs to iron.

I think he came to the front door and rang the bell, and Maggie let him in, and he said he had forgotten his key; so I think she must have been down stairs.

I always went to my sister, because she was older and had the care of me after my mother died.

I can't do anything in a minute.

I never eat any breakfast.

When I first came down stairs, for two or three minutes I went down cellar to the water closet.

I had no occasion for an apron on that morning.

All my books take a long time to research. I spend several months researching before I start writing, and in the middle of writing I often have to stop and look up stuff. At my local library, I am one of the best customers! The research takes several months.

One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.

I think if we give kids a break in education, we would have fewer crimes being committed. If we keep them on track, they know that they have options. It's important for me because, you know, my life would've been different had I not had the education that I had.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.

I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities.

The cardiac calls require medical intervention. So an ambulance for a cardiac call requires a doctor, a ward boy and medical equipment.

When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed!

Be soft, don't let the world make you hard. Be gentle, don't let the people make you difficult. Be kind, don't let the realities of life steal your sweetness and make you heartless.

When we first invested in Colombia, we were buying a lot of coal from Colombia. We were dealing with them daily. I knew their guys at the port, I knew their guys at the mine, I had a feel of the country.

When Im driving the highway by myself is when I write best.

Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.

I support legal immigration. I don't support amnesty because it is not fair to people standing in line at consulates around the world.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get

I've lived a fast-paced life, but I had the best childhood. I didn't miss out on anything by having my daughter at a young age.

People into hard sciences, neurophysiology, often ignore a core philosophical question: 'What is the relationship between our unique, inner experience of conscious awareness and material substance?' The answer is: We don't know, and some people are so terrified to say, 'I don't know.'

I spent over ten years in the Central Intelligence Agency as an undercover operations officer serving overseas after 9/11 where I carried out covert operations against al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, as well as other countries who are 'hostile to liberty,' as I like to say.

When I was 17, I listened to reggae music. I loved Bob Marley. I started growing dreadlocks. It's always been my way, that the outside matches what's going on with me inside.

This nation was founded by rebels and revolutionaries, and its flags were carried across the battlefields by people who were very, very against the status quo and who questioned and criticized.

The devil lies brooding in the miser's chest.

The moment you believe you will fail, you have already lost the battle.

If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.

I love hotels for their solitude and comfort, but I believe a seedy one can have as much promise as a plush one.

The trouble is you think you have time.
