I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.

When you're famous you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you and you don't see the real people.

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

None of my characters are rich or famous and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

The stones themselves are thick with history and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

A famous person to themselves they don't get up in the morning and think I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

Long before we understand ourselves through the process of self-examination we understand ourselves in a self-evident way in the family society and state in which we live.
