It's better to give than to lend and it costs about the same.

From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.

A friend in the War Office warned me that I was in Kitchener's black books, and that orders had been given for my arrest next time I appeared in France.

It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops, and barred windows, and deserted avenues.

I am going to fight - I, a socialist and Syndicalist - so that we shall make an end to war, so that the little ones of France will sleep in peace, and the women go without fear.

All was well, until I reached the port of Havre. Three officers with the rank of lieutenant, whom afterwards I knew to be Scotland Yard men, came aboard and demanded to see my papers which they took away from me.

We who go out to die shall be remembered, because we gave the world peace. That will be our reward, though we will know nothing of it, but lie rotting in the earth - dead.

During the early months of the war in 1914 there was a conflict of opinion between the War Office and the Foreign Office regarding news from the Front.

In front of us was not a line but a fortress position, twenty miles deep, entrenched and fortified, defended by masses of machine-gun posts and thousands of guns in a wide arc. No chance for cavalry!

But do you know, I shall not be sorry to die. I shall be glad, Monsieur. And why glad, you ask? Because I love France and hate the Germans who have put this war on us.

But the worst handicap we had the prohibition of naming individual units who had done the fighting.

When we got down from the ambulances there were sharp cracks about us as bursts of shrapnel splashed down upon the Town Hall square. Dead soldiers lay outside and I glanced at them coldly. We were in search of the living.

It's better to give than to lend and it costs about the same.

It is better to give then to lend, and it costs about the same.

It was announced as a French victory by the French Minister of War. I did not see any sign of victory but only the retreat of the French forces engaged in the battle.

Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.

The biggest novelty of 2013 will be new leadership in China. Very little is known about the views of the new leaders - who will rule the country for ten years. But we do know they're the first generation of Chinese leaders who have spent the majority of their lives in a China 'opening up' to the rest of the world.

Do not let the endless succession of small things crowd great ideals out of sight and out of mind.

Feelings are like chemicals, the more you analyze them the worse they smell

I love clothes. Maybe I can say I don't love fashion, but I love clothes completely.

When we speak in gestures or signs we fashion a real object in the world the gesture is seen the words and the song are heard. The arts are simply a kind of writing which in one way or another fixes words or gestures and gives body to the invisible.

The problem with escaping is that we leave behind us even among those we love different versions of the truth and everything we couldnt bring ourselves to say.

There is no difference between me and Netanyahu in reading the threat of Iran. There is no daylight between us on this issue at all.

I think marriage is a beautiful thing. I'm still a supporter of it.

Dad was certainly a free spirit and had his own ways. He was very proud of my golf achievements but more proud of the person I've turned into. He brought me up to lead a very balanced life.

Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender - not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.

It is not monogamy when there is one legal wife, and mistresses out of sight.

All great political families have myths: stories they tell themselves about how history happened.

UNC symbolizes something special. When you get chills you know you belong here.

I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.

There are so many things I want to do! Some are personal. Some are professional.

Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.

It's official, Arnold said he will enter the race for governor. At least that's what everybody thinks he said.

We had some problems - my children were kidnapped during that time, and it just changed my whole way of thinking, from being in show business and everything else.

There's something pleasing about large, well-lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all, I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot.

It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.
