My great-grandfather was in the army in India and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

I always remember having a healthy respect for my grandmother.

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

But like a born actor who only really wants to direct Gingrich has always been unsatisfied with what he's brilliant at. He can't still his hunger to deliver grand pronouncements on life liberalism conservatism religion and whatever else swims into his consciousness.

If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.

It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say 'You shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that.' But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything and they will support you. That's why you have this kind of connection.

A grandchild is a miracle but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.

You see I had been riding with the storm clouds and had come to earth as rain and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me.

War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.

In my opinion most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth prestige and grandeur that went with the power.
