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

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

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

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

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

You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing.

I never grew up thinking I wanted to be a quote-unquote star or anything. My thing was just feeling blessed to be able to make my living acting.

I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I'm up and down those stairs all the time. That's my exercise.

I wanted to be a leading man - the black lawyer, the black doctor, the black policeman.

I love going to the movies and getting Raisinets, a big tub of popcorn and a Coke. That's definitely a guilty pleasure because I can't be doing that all the time.

The first person ever to have blue eyes lived sometime between 6.000 and 10000 years ago. Before then all people had brown eyes.

Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.

I read the book with interest, but when Jackson was a candidate in 1828 for the Presidency, I opposed him and voted for Adams. I favored a protective tariff.

Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.

Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

I've got more in common with a three-toed sloth than I have with Winston Churchill. There is no easy comparison with any modern politician. The more you read about him, the more completely amazed you are about what he did - his energy, his literary fecundity, his ability to work - just unbelievable energy.

I am so glad my wife tolerates me. And we have three wonderful sons.

Everybody just uses the one-move rule without realising when it is too late to actually move and cross over and when it is actually being dangerous.

I never download anything; it's crazy! We must keep buying albums and DVDs.

Right now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.

It is not good to talk about Zen, because Zen is nothingness... If you talk about it, you are always lying, and if you don't talk about it, no one knows it is there.

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

An attack upon our ability to tell stories is not just censorship - it is a crime against our nature as human beings.

As an actor, to go and see those shows - great plays like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' and Clifford Odets's 'Golden Boy' - it's so exhilarating. I'd personally love to perform the role of Jerry in Edward Albee's 'The Zoo Story.' He's a transient, lost soul, and an example of humanity at its rawest.

In New Zealand, we have a thing called 'tall poppy syndrome,' which, you might not have heard of it, but it's essentially where - it happens in small populations usually, but can actually happen in the U.K. - where, if someone sticks out, they get their head cut off because they are being outside the ordinary or they are showing off.

That is, a system starts with a group of interrelated propositions which involve reference to empirical observations within the logical framework of the propositions in question.

I think a lot of people came into rock n' roll to try to change the world. I came into rock n' roll to make music.

The interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own, serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary.

Readers can read what they want and easily switch to other books, so we're seeing a lot of reading behaviors. Some verticals attract different usage than others. We can spot reading patterns.
