Thus, it comes to pass, that a certain room in a certain old hall, where a certain bad lord, baronet, knight, or gentleman, shot himself, has certain planks in the floor from which the blood will not be taken out. you may scrape and scrape, as the present owner has done, or plane and plane, as his father did, or scrub and scrub, as his grandfather did, or burn and burn with strong acids, as his great-grandfather did, but, there the blood will still be - no redder and no paler - no more and no less - always just the same.

A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

A man is like a two-story house. the first floor is equipped with an entrance and a living room. on the second floor is every family member's room. they enjoy listening to music and reading books. on the first underground floor is the ruin of people's memories. the room filled with darkness is the second underground floor.

And who are you, the proud lord said that i must bow so low? only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth i know. in a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws. and, mine are as long and sharp, my lord as long and sharp as yours. and so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of castamere, but now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.

Our collection of men is very antique, they stand in my list thus: a man of sense, a little rusty, a beau a good deal the worse for wearing, a coxcomb extremely shattered, a pretty gentleman very insipid, a baronet very solemn, a squire very fat, a fop much affected, a barrister learned in coke upon littleton, but who knows nothing of `long ways for marry as will', an heir apparent, very awkward; which of these will cast a favourable eye upon me i don't know.

If i'm ever working on a set and anyone talks about a master shot, i say there is no master shot. before i even went to film school, i learned about movies by being in a british feature film, where everything was shot master shot, mid-shot, close-up. but i reject the idea of a master shot. you don't shoot everything mechanically; you find imaginative ways that serve the action.

The mission of a great school is not to cram you with facts so that you can regurgitate them...this gives many boys such a distaste for learning that they never read another book as long as they live. no, the mission is to inspire you with a taste for scholarship - a taste which will last you all your life.

In high school, i came to realize i had a second-hand faith, derived from my parents and family background. i had no actual reasons for believing it.

Schools teach you to imitate. if you don't imitate what the teacher wants you get a bad grade. here, in college, it was more sophisticated, of course; you were supposed to imitate the teacher in such a way as to convince the teacher you were not imitating, but taking the essence of the instruction and going ahead with it on your own. that got you a's. originality on the other hand could get you anything -- from a to f. the whole grading system cautioned against it.
