War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.

Freedom is indivisible. As soon as one starts to restrict it, one enters upon a decline on which it is difficult to stop.

Nobody ever recommended a dictatorship aiming at ends other than those he himself approved. He who advocates dictatorship always advocates the unrestricted rule of his own will

The masses do not like those who surpass them in any regard. The average man envies and hates those who are different.

I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.

I dyed my hair this crazy red to bid for attention. It has become a trademark, and I've got to keep it this way.

I quite like American music, like The Fray - I'm a massive fan of them - and The Killers. I also like more acoustic stuff like Ed Sheeran; I like this English songwriter James Morrison and another singer called Ben Howard.

For me, Robbie Williams was a massive influence when I was growing up. But also Cheryl Cole. Being in her presence was intimidating, because she's so hot.

I'm a bit old-fashioned. I like the idea of going to the cinema and then an Italian restaurant.

We don't dance because we can't dance. Our shows, production-wise, are always quite minimal. We always try and keep it more about us having fun and stay away from gimmicks.

I'm normally last and I'm quite a late person and that is just who I am.

Stop the traffic...let 'em through.

You can't go to sleep without a cup of tea and maybe thats the reason that you talk in your sleep.

Those sound like the three best answers I've ever heard on this show even though it's the first ever of this show!

And as for you, stop having curly hair!

Swag mastah from Doncastah!

There's nothing that annoys me more than people being horrible to my mates.

What i do in my personal time is about me. if other people dont agree, then it doesn't matter 'cos it's my opinion and that's what counts at the end of the day.

Every chemical substance, whether natural or artificial, falls into one of two major categories, according to the spatial characteristic of its form. The distinction is between those substances that have a plane of symmetry and those that do not. The former belong to the mineral, the latter to the living world.

In that memorable year, 1822: Oersted, a Danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a Volta pile. On his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. A wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. That, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph.

My opinion - nay more, my conviction - is that, in the present state of science, as you rightly say, spontaneous generation is a chimera; and it would be impossible for you to contradict me, for my experiments all stand forth to prove that spontaneous generation is a chimera.

Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.

It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.

People who don't think shouldn't talk.
