Taking the humour out of Dickens, it's not Dickens any more.

Andrew Davies Writer

People like bonnets. I don't think you can under-estimate that.

Andrew Davies Writer

Be careful about the advice you give, especially to your children.

Andrew Davies Writer

I always do like to write love stories, even if they end tragically.

Andrew Davies Writer

The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass.

Martin Mull Actor

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.

Aeschylus Dramatist

The environmental catastrophes we're presently seeing are considered "normal" though they're horrific. Fracking has made drinking water flammable, families are dying from planned lead poisoning in Flint, Michigan, mountaintop removal is killing families throughout Appalachia, and oil/mining companies continue to denigrate Native American and indigenous rights throughout the world (see North Dakota Pipeline presently). This is horrific - and yet we somehow consider it normal.

Alexander Weinstein

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

Amy Winehouse Singer-Songwriter

I can't say the connection is one I've made consciously, but quitting drinking allowed me to be less selfish. My wife would definitely say that one of the major benefits of me quitting drinking is that I have more time and focus for other people.

Andy Daly Actor

For their own good, vegetarians should never be allowed near fine beers and ales. It will only make them loud and belligerent, and they lack the physical strength and aggressive nature to back up any drunken assertions.

Anthony Bourdain Chef
