Children I grant should be innocent but when the epithet is applied to men or women it is but a civil term for weakness.

And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films it would be 'Civil War' - not civil war in the way we know it but the daily war that goes on between us all.

Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.

There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.

There are no such things as applied sciences only applications of science.

When the media defines something you have to question: Is it the definition that you want applied to your culture? I'm trying to determine who's leaving the legacy and if the legacy that is being left is a positive one.

I always wanted to work at 'Take A Break' magazine you know just to inject a little bit of politics into their stories. I applied for a job there after I'd done my law degree and didn't even get an interview. I only wrote 'Garnethill' because I didn't get that job!
