Conscience is a coward and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.

Oliver Goldsmith Strength Quote
I think the hardest thing about making music now is being a great dad at the same time. There’s an insanity that goes with writing – a mad scientist thing that you have to go through – and sacrificing a kid’s upbringing to do that is not an option.

Eddie Vedder Dad Quote
It is all very well to copy what one sees but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one’s memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.

Edgar Degas Imagination Quote
Forget romantic fiction a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping have sex or sleep.

Janet Street-Porter Romantic Quote
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.

Alfred Adler Future Quote
Journalism is concerned with events poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world poetry with the feel of the world.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

Conventional wisdom notwithstanding there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man’s life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
