I mean I was born the day war broke out but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool you know. I remember when I was a little older there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.

I remember the 1940s as a time when we were united in a way known only to that generation. We belonged to a common cause-the war.

I remember an article I can't recall who by it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall which said that now the Wall was down there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.

I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me it was kind of a dark depressing time.

There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.

Total war is no longer war waged by all members of one national community against all those of another. It is total... because it may well involve the whole world.

When the question arose whether I as a member of the royal family should take part in active combat in the Falklands there was no question in her mind and it only took her two days to sort the issue.

I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine feeling I had the truth and the light and the key but a lot of it was purely hell.

Always tell the truth - it's the easiest thing to remember.

Remember as long as you live that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.
