Remember those study group gatherings where each of us argue in one author’s voice so that our perspective of the law was whole? #shortbreak007 — Yeah, I don’t either

If equity and trust has taught me one thing, it’s to never be a trustee. You can sit like a rock or work like a beaver, once it appears you’ve slacked, you’re screwed. #shortbreak001

The moment when a privy council’s (pc) decision is favoured over that of a House of Lords’ (HoL) PC: Yo buddy, you ok? HoL: Shut up. PC: Oh c’mon, I don’t get much attention very often anyway! #shortbreak002

After s14(2) SOGA 1979, I’ve never worn new underwear without washing them first. #shortbreak003

When in doubt, ask E-Law resources :) Google is the consolation prize. #shortbreak004

Wondering if the OLA 1984 was enacted to experiment whether a landlord would befriend a trespasser #shortbreak005

When we laugh after being asked if we understood the pass year exam question, even our lecturers know we’re screwed. #shortbreak006

Law is not boring. In fact, there are popcorn moments. My personal favourite is when one Supreme Court judge slams the argument of another in a highly complicated manner to not offend his/her buddy. #shortbreak008

‘Why do you read law?’ If only I could answer, ‘Why wouldn’t I read law,’ in an interview. #shortbreak009

TV is not a necessity? I. Will. Kill. You. #shortbreak010

It's almost a blessing when we meet people who naturally want to do the sort of things that are in high demand in society. What a gift to do that, as opposed to other people who would say, 'I want to be a novelist but actually I have to be an accountant.'

Fashion takes its inspiration from society and everyday life, which is the same for everyone, and this is perhaps the reason why certain elements recur.

Maybe it's impossible to spend time with Patrick Stewart and not have the conversation move to the extraterrestrial.

Kurosawa is the sensei, the Shakespeare, of filmmaking.

As a child, I liked to play outside, to stroll through the fields, and I was an active member of the local children's gang, frequently being chased by field guards and building supervisors. Nevertheless, my performance at school was very good, and mainly due to the influence of my mother, I was allowed to attend high school.

We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them.

Many people repeat the past. I'm not interested. I prefer evolution.

People have wanted to look inside the human mind, the human brain, for thousands of years.

If we would vote in mass on the more promising ticket, or, if the two are equally bad, would throw out the party that is in, and wait till the next election and then throw out the other party that is in - then, I say, the commercial politician would feel a demand for good government and he would supply it.

A gentleman has his eyes on all those present; he is tender toward the bashful, gentle toward the distant, and merciful toward the absent.

I was a music fan first way before I started creating it, so I still get giddy when I get to be around people that I respect so much.

I am a passionate reader, having been tutored very early by my mother. I avidly devoured all books on chemistry that I could find. Formal chemistry at school seemed boring by comparison, and my performance was routine. In contrast, I did spectacularly well in mathematics and sailed through classes and exams with ease.

If Americans want to see results instead of rhetoric, if taxpayers would like solutions instead of sound bites, and hard work instead of horse trading, I suggest you take a short look, and it won't take much longer, at the accomplishments of this Congress.

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.

There's a general feeling if you take the cut block out of the game, then you're going to significantly impact the run game.

When you are subverting the power of government, that's a fundamentally dangerous thing to democracy.

We injure ourselves by wishing; continous inaction cripples the soul.

Rick Owens is my desert island designer. I could live in his clothes alone, and I collect Ossie Clark.

At the end of the day, nobody cares how much you tried, what the deal was, or if you were a good guy or a bad guy.

The most deeply personal of my works are the non-fiction works, the autobiographical works, because there, I'm talking about myself very directly.

I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one.

My gut tells me and continues to tell me that the Conservative party is on a road back to government.

The world of art is not a world of immortality but of metamorphosis.

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
