If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and its good even if nothing else in your life is right you feel like your whole world is complete.
My definition of love is being full. Complete. It makes everything lighter. Beauty is something you see. Love is something you feel.
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus there exists no beautiful woman none at all because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Who knows better than artists how much ugliness there is on the way to beauty how many ghastly mortifying missteps how many days of granitic blockheadedness and dismaying ineptitude there is on the way to accomplishment how partial all accomplishment is how incomplete?
Hence within the space of two generations there has been a complete revolution in the attitude of the trades-unions toward the women working in their trades.
The theatre only knows what it's doing next week not like the opera where they say: What are we going to do in five years' time? A completely different attitude.
I don't return anybody's calls unless it's going to mean extra money for me. And I've completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I've copped an attitude.
I have such an extreme attitude about work where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
Liberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour and particularly Old Labour does.
