Both camels are dead and our provisions are done.

We have this morning dropped anchor, just off Williamstown.

I do not like Melbourne in its present state.

These rare senses and powers of reasoning were given to be used freely, but not audaciously, to discover, not to pervert the truth.

You should carefully study the Art of Reasoning, as it is what most people are very deficient in, and I know few things more disagreeable than to argue, or even converse with a man who has no idea of inductive and deductive philosophy.

Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.

Our clothes are going to pieces fast. Send provisions as soon as possible.

I have been agreeably disappointed in my idea of the camels. They are far from unpleasant to ride; in fact, it is much less fatiguing than riding on horseback, and even with the little practice I have yet had, I find it shakes me less.

What you say about this world I do not quite agree with; I think it a very good world, and only requires a person to be reasonable in his expectations, and not to trust too much to others.

Everyone who comes out does a very foolish thing in bringing such a quantity of clothes that he never wants.

Melbourne is wonderfully altered since I last saw it. There are some very fair buildings in it now, and things are a little cheaper than they used to be.

The actual danger is nothing, and the positive advantages very great.

This country is undergoing great changes for the better.

It is of great importance to note these meteors, even the small ones, as very little is yet known of them; and every observation, if carefully made, will some day help to show what they are.

Both camels are dead and our provisions are done.

I am often disgusted at hearing young people I know, declare that they are afraid of doing this or that, because they MIGHT be killed.

At any rate, girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge, their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world, the study of the fine arts, and of the manners and dispositions of people.

I consider nothing low but ignorance, vice, and meanness, characteristics generally found where the animal propensities predominate over the higher sentiments.

The pigeon here is a beautiful bird, of a delicate bronze colour, tinged with pink about the neck, and the wings marked with green and purple.

I have deposited some of my journals here for fear of accidents.

We all think we are right, or we should not believe as we do.

The country up here is beautiful; everything green and pleasant; and if you saw it now, you would not believe that in two months' time it could have such a parched and barren appearance as it will then assume.

I see by your letter to my father that you are rather afraid the French may invade England.

They have just succeeded in raising the two thousand pounds here, by subscription, that was wanted towards an exploration fund, for fitting out an expedition, that will probably start for the interior of our continent next March.

I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've written 29 damn plays. Isn't that enough?

You have to compromise all the way. The only thing that counts is the result.

You have to push through every difficulty to have a breakthrough.

When you understand your obligations to God then you can understand your obligations to society.

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

The last months, weeks and days have seen accelerating discussions, involving the DUP for the first time, about a comprehensive agreement which would see all outstanding matters dealt with and the Good Friday Agreement implemented in full.

If you are facing in the right direction, all you need to do is keep on walking.

I grew up in an agnostic broad-minded family.

Any necessary truth, whether a priori or a posteriori, could not have turned out otherwise.

The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago Disneyland is virtual reality.

My nominee for Best Picture of the year - maybe the best picture ever, because it's essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies - is Christian Marclay's endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece 'The Clock.'

Firms don't just try to pay as little as possible to get the needed bodies on board; when there is unemployment, they ask themselves how wage cuts would affect the behavior of the employees. Would they quit or feel dissatisfied and work less hard on the firm's behalf if they feel that wage policies are unfair?

Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.

I think the most important lesson isn't necessarily to try and write a different book every time, or to try and brand yourself and write one specific kind of book, but to write the kind of books you love to read.

I love design.

I enter negotiations with Chairman Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the representative of the Palestinian people, with the purpose to have coexistence between our two entities, Israel as a Jewish state and Palestinian state, entity, next to us, living in peace.

Researchers warn us against walking out on married life without a dang good reason.

The early Bob Dylan was compulsively drawn to the conflict between stability and the search for immortality.

There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A, that it was a vacuum of creativity, of humor or anything organic, and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different - I love L.A.!

Good access to a doctor and a drugstore when you first have a problem can avoid a lot of cost and heartache later.

My secret passion is motorbikes. I want a Kawasaki Ninja.

Usenet is the last uncensored mass medium.

I think a lot of people thought women's soccer had arrived and it was here to stay and it was going to be huge, but that wasn't realistic. It has progressed slowly.
